aIC50 values represent the of three independent experiments. bResistance Index was calculated by dividing the IC50 values of the cisplatin treatment in A549/PTX and A549/DDP cells by that of A549 cells. cReversal Index was calculated by dividing the IC50 values of the cisplatin treatment by that of the combined cisplatin with CAT treatment. ##vs. cisplatin group.
