Abstract
This study is to investigate the anti-proliferation effect of Exfoliazone on liver cancer cell line HepG2 by inducing apoptosis.The test of anti-proliferation effect was performed by MTT assay,apoptotic cells were identified by DAPI staining and AnnexinV/PI staining.The expression of the poly ADP-ribose polymerase protein and its activated fragment were detected by Western-Blotting assays.Exfoliazone treatment significantly inhibited the growth of HepG2 cells in a time and dose-dependent manner.The IC50 for Exfoliazone was about 35,16 and 8 μmol/L after treatment for 24,48 and 72 h,respectively.Exfoliazone treatment could greatly induce apoptosis of HepG2 as indicated by DAPI staining,PARP cleavage and AnnexinV/PI staining.Exfoliazone inhibits the growth of HepG2 cells by inducing apoptosis.
