In this study two monocytic leukemia cell lines, U937 and THP-1 cells, were used to investigate the anti-proliferation effects caused by ponicidin. Cell viability was measured by an MTT assay. Cell apoptosis was assessed by flow cytometry as well as DNA fragmentation analysis. Cell morphology was
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the apoptosis inducing effects of ponicidin (PON) on leukemic K562 cells and its mechanisms of action.
METHODS
K562 cells in culture medium in vitro were given different concentrations of PON (10-50 micromol x L(-1)) for 24, 48 and 72 h. The inhibitory rate of the cells was
Ponicidin, an extract from the Chinese herb Rabdosia rubescens, is currently one of the most important traditional Chinese herbal medicines. Ponicidin has been reported to have anti-tumor effects on a large variety of malignant diseases. In this study, we investigated the anti-proliferation effects
