Popis: We examined the efficacy of combination treatments utilizing cytotoxic drugs plus inhibitors to members of the ErbB - ERK signal pathway in human prostate cancer (PCa) LNCaP C-81 cells. Under an androgen-reduced condition, 50 nM gemcitabine caused about 40% growth suppression on C-81 cells. Simultaneous treatment of gemcitabine plus 10 µM AG825 produced 60% suppression (p
