Abstract
|
|
|
Background: This study was carried out to investigate the anticancer effects of Gastrodia elata Blume extract (GEE) in human hepatoma-derived Hep3B cells by apoptotic cell death.
Methods and Results: To evaluate the anticancer effect, a Hep3B cell viability assay and a realtime quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) on GEE were performed, which was obtained extracted by ultrasound-assisted extraction and then used to treat the Hep3B cells. Cell viability was inhibited to 48.2% (4.0 ㎎/㎖). To identify anticancer mechanisms using qRT-PCR, mRNA expressions of B-cell lymphoma-2, its associated Bax protein, and 5’- AMP-activated protein kinase were examined with a comparative △CT method. A qualitative analysis of the bioactive compounds in GEE was coducted using liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry, gastrodin and phloretin were identified as the two major compounds.
Conclusions: These findings demonstrate that GEE can decrease liver cancer cell viability and control apoptosis gene expression to have anticancer effects, GEE could be employed as a natural anticancer agent with less side effects than those of traditional anticancer medications.
