Abstract

|
This study was performed to investigate the anti cancer effect of Batryticatus Bombycis extract(BBE) in B16F10 cells. The cell viability after BBE treatment was quantified by MTT assay. The results showed that BBE inhibited the proliferation of B16F10 cells and caused a 80% inhibition of B16F10 cells at concentration of . B16F10 cells exposed to BBE displayed the DNA fragmentation ladder and nucleus chromatin condensation characteristic for apoptosis. The enzyme activity of caspase-3 and actived caspase-3 protein was markedly increased in B16F10 cells treated with the BBE. The expression of Bcl-2, anti-apoptotic protein, was decreased by treatment of the BBE in a dose-dependent manner. And the expression of pro-apoptotic Bax protein was increased. In conclusion, we can suggest that BBE induce the apoptotic death of B16F10 cells via activation of caspase-3, cleavage of PARP protein and Bcl-2 degradation.
