Abstract :

In this project we sat out to determine the effect of Dasatinib on the JNK KO MEFs metabolism (ATP levels, oxygen consumption rate (OCR) and toxicity. Unfortunately we didn�t see adverse effects until we increased the drug dosage 10 times the normal. We observed the levels of ATP, OCR and the live cells drop after applying the drug. We also observed the effect of the Dasatinib on the JNK KO�s mitochondria and the results showed that mitochondria become more filamentous upon the fluorescent stain.
