Abstract

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a highly malignant cancer that exists worldwide. Herbal medicine plays an important role in the management and treatment of various diseases worldwide. The herbal medicine Glechoma hederacea L. has a variety of biological activities and belongs to the Labiatae family. The current study investigated the in vitro effects of ethyl acetate fraction extract (EAFE) of G. hederacea on HepG2 cells and its possible mechanism. The phytochemical composition of EAFE was analyzed by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Bioactive effects of the EAFE were assessed using the MTT assay, annexin V-FITC/PI staining, PhiphiLux-G1 D2 kit, DAPI and comet assay, flow cytometry, western blotting. In this study, we found that rosmarinic acid (RA), caffeic acid (CA), and ferulic acid (FA) were the abundant polyphenols in EAFE of G. hederacea. This fraction extract could significantly inhibit HepG2 cell proliferation, make cells apoptosis, and cause S phase arrest. The apoptogenic activity of EAFE involved reactive oxygen species (ROS) induction, Ca2+ accumulation, mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP, ΔΨm) destruction, regulate the Bax/Bcl-2 ratio and caspases 3, 9 cascade. We propose that the EAFE can inhibi...Continue Reading

Apoptosis in Cancer

Apoptosis is an important mechanism in cancer. By evading apoptosis, tumors can continue to grow without regulation and metastasize systemically. Many therapies are evaluating the use of pro-apoptotic activation to eliminate cancer growth. Here is the latest research on apoptosis in cancer.

Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a specific process that leads to programmed cell death through the activation of an evolutionary conserved intracellular pathway leading to pathognomic cellular changes distinct from cellular necrosis
