    Supplementary Figure 1 Legend - PDF file 52K, Effects on CALU-3, CALU-3 GEF-R, H1299, H1975 and GLC82 cell growth of the combination of metformin and gefitinib. Cell viability was determined using a 3-(4,5 methylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5- diphenyltetrazolium bromide assay. Treatment combinations and sequences are described in Materials and Methods. CI values were calculated according to the Chou and Talalay mathematical model for drug interactions using the Calcusyn software for different fractions affected (fa). CI is a quantitative measure of the degree of interaction between different drugs. If CI = 1, it denotes additivity; if CI > 1, it denotes antagonism; if 1 0.7, it denotes slight synergism; if CI = 0.7-0.3, it denotes synergism; if CI < 0.3, it denotes strong synergism. Results are the median of three independent experiments, each done in eight replicate wells for experimental point</p
