Cancer is an important disease that causing to deaths in the world. Cervical cancer is one of the most common among women and must be treated quickly to prevent cell proliferation. Natural products have been used for cancer treatment due to their antiproliferative and apoptosis induction properties. In the present study, we aimed to determine the antiproliferative and apoptosis induction activities of methanol extract of Inula graveolens(IGME) in the human cerival cancer cell line (HeLa). Antiproliferative activity of IGME was evaluated by using MTT (3-[4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl]-2,5-diphenyl-tetrazolium bromide) method. Apoptosis induction activity was determined by AnnexinV/propodium iodide staining withFACS. ROS induction was determined by DCFH-DA (2′,7′-Dichlorofluorescin diacetate) staining. Interleukin 6 and 8 levels (IL-6 and IL-8) were determined by the Elisa method. IGME exhibited antiproliferative effect and induced apoptosis in the HeLa cells. IL-6, IL-8 and intracellular ROS levels were decreased after treatment of IGME. Consequently, IGME was found to have antiproliferative and apoptosis induction activities as an indicator of the anticancer activity. |
