Objective: To investigate the effects of total flavonoids of Broussonetia papyrifera on growth and apoptosis of hepatocellular carcinoma HepG-2 cells. Method: The MTT assay was used
and the hepatocellular carcinoma HepG-2 cells in logarithmic phase of growth were randomLy divided into drug group and control group
with the concentration of 3
6
9
12 g·L-1 total flavonoids of B. papyrifera in hepatocellular carcinoma HepG-2 cells
intervention durations were 24
48
72 h accordingly.The percentage of apoptotic cell were detected by FCM.The expression of protein Bcl-2 was analyzed by Western blot. Result: Inhibition rate of the hepatocellular carcinoma HepG-2 was obviously enhanced along with increase of the total flavonoids of B. papyrifera concentration
the effect is also showed in time course.Flow cytometry study revealed
with the concentration increased
the percentage of apoptotic cells raised after 48h.The expression of protein Bcl-2 was down-regulated along with increase of the total flavonoids of B. papyrifera concentration. Conclusion: The quartering can effectively inhibit tumor cell growth and induced tumor cells into apoptosis.It may be associate with the low expression of protein Bcl-2 in hepatocellular carcinoma cell line HepG-2.
