چکیده

Objective: It is of interest to investigate the anti-proliferative effect of β-sitosterol (BS) on human hepatocellular carcinoma (HepG۲) cell line.Materials and Methods: β-sitosterol treatments (۰.۶ and ۱.۲ mM/ml) were done in HepG۲ and after ۲۴ hr, cell viability was evaluated by MTT assay. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulating potential of BS was assessed by dichloro-dihydro-fluorescein diacetate staining. Morphology related to apoptosis was investigated by acridine orange and ethidium bromide dual staining. Cytochrome c and caspase ۳ expressions were evaluated by immunofluorescence and western blot analyses.Results: β-sitosterol induced cytotoxicity (p< ۰.۰۰۱) and intracellular ROS in HepG۲ cells in a dose-dependent manner.BS treatments accumulated induced intracellular ROS accumulation which led to membrane damage and mitochondrial toxicity. At the molecular level, BS treatments induced cytochrome c release from mitochondria and enhanced the protein expressions (p< ۰.۰۵ vs ۰.۶ mM/ml and p< ۰.۰۰۱ vs ۱.۲ mM/ml) of both caspase ۳ and cleaved caspase ۳.Conclusion: β-sitosterol induced ROS accumulation which plays a critical role in apoptosis via the intrinsic pathway in HepG۲ cells. The present investigation paves the way for further in vivo studies.

اطلاعات بیشتر در مورد COI

COI مخفف عبارت CIVILICA Object Identifier به معنی شناسه سیویلیکا برای اسناد است. COI کدی است که مطابق محل انتشار، به مقالات کنفرانسها و ژورنالهای داخل کشور به هنگام نمایه سازی بر روی پایگاه استنادی سیویلیکا اختصاص می یابد.

کد COI به مفهوم کد ملی اسناد نمایه شده در سیویلیکا است و کدی یکتا و ثابت است و به همین دلیل همواره قابلیت استناد و پیگیری دارد.
