Okay, I give up. You have to show a little cooperation if you want help.
I mean, you deleted the answer to my question about which steps of the protocol you replicated, because you were worried it might have been wrong. That's fine, but do I really need to tell you that you now have to find out the correct answer before we can proceed in the discussion?

This is the experiment design that I asked from the one who did the experiment:
24h after seeding A431 cell cultures in triplicates were treated with Gefitinib(2.5µM) or left untreated. Cells were harvested at 2h (treated and untreated), 6h and 24h after treatment by trypsination and washed in PBS.
Now, I only compare the untreated cells and cells harvested 24h after treatment.

Sorry, didn't see that you wrote "in triplicates". So, you have three independently grown cell cultures. According to the dispersion plot, they are extremely similar. Bet double check this with scatter plots comparing pairs of replicates.
If so, all the many differentially expressed genes are genuine difference between the treated and the control samples. This can be either because you inhibitor has an extremely dramatic effect on very many genes, or because you are confounded with something else (e.g., that the treatment of the two replicate groups differed in other aspects than just the application of the drug).

It is true that cell lines replicates are more similar to each other than those taken from different patients. See scatter plot H0-R1 vs H0-R2.
When I looked into the output file(resSig=res$padj<0.1) which contains 20000+ genes as I mentioned before, Actually those genes with all zeros are marked as NA, which should be ignored. But there are about 10000 left. Then filtered by log2foldchange greater than 1 or less than -1, padj <0.01, i manage to squeeze those to 3000 genes. I paste some typical values here:

Should I trust those significantly differentially expressed genes with very low counts in both conditions?Attached Files

The field of epigenetics has traditionally concentrated more on DNA and how changes like methylation and phosphorylation of histones impact gene expression and regulation. However, our increased understanding of RNA modifications and their importance in cellular processes has led to a rise in epitranscriptomics research. “Epitranscriptomics brings together the concepts of epigenetics and gene expression,” explained Adrien Leger, PhD, Principal Research Scientist on Modified Bases...-

Proteins are often described as the workhorses of the cell, and identifying their sequences is key to understanding their role in biological processes and disease. Currently, the most common technique used to determine protein sequences is mass spectrometry. While still a valuable tool, mass spectrometry faces several limitations and requires a highly experienced scientist familiar with the equipment to operate it. Additionally, other proteomic methods, like affinity assays, are constrained...-
