Abstract
|
|
|
|
The purpose of this study was to investigate the anti-cancer effects of Sophorae Radix and the effects of 5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) in human colorectal adenocarcinoma cells (HT-29). We used human colorectal adenocarcinoma cell line, HT-29 cells. We examined cell death by MTT assay and caspase 3 assay with Sophorae Radix. To examine the inhibitory effects of Sophorae Radix, cell cycle (sub G1) analysis was done the HT-29 cells after three days with Sophorae Radix. The reversibility of Sophorae Radix was examined on one day to five days treatment with 150 ㎍ Sophorae Radix. Sophorae Radix inhibited the growth of HT-29 cells in a dose-dependent fashion. Also we showed that Sophorae Radix induced apoptosis in HT-29 cells by MTT assay, caspase 3 assay and sub-G1 analysis. Sophorae Radix combined with 5-FU markedly inhibited the growth of HT-29 cells compared to Sophorae Radix or 5-FU alone. After 3 days treatment of HT-29 cells with Sophorae Radix, the fraction of cells in sub-G1 phase was much higher than that of the control group. Our findings provide insight into unraveling the effects of Sophorae Radix in human colorectal adenocarcinoma cells and developing therapeutic agents against colorectal cancer.
