Please give detailed answers with references in regards to to all these questions. include all references used.
1) Background on Chemotherapy Agents for Lung cancer
2) miRNA Expression Profiles (mir-409-3p expression).
3) Comparative Analysis of Drug Effects of lung cancer drugs such as etoposide and cisplatin.
5) What is Known About miR-409 Expression Changes?
6) miR-409 Expression After Etoposide/ Cisplatin Chemotherapy treatment on A549 cell lines or any other lung cancer cell line?
7) What should the IC50 value be for cisplatin/etoposide based on literature in lung cells; which concentrations are expected to be toxic; is this data available for A549 lung cancer line in literature? Is it available for other cell lines?
8) Did previous publications describe doing MTT assay or did they have a different way to establish toxicity?
9) qPCR experiment, mir-409 having a p value of 0.37 is this upregualtion or downregualtion?: what is already known about changes in expression for miRNA 409-3p? is it known how expression changes after chemotherapy? Have they used lung epithelial cells or other cells?
10) Limitations of MTT assay and qPCR?
