- Abstract
- The anticancer effect of dangyuja (Citrus grandis Osbeck) and guava (Psidium guajava L.) leaves extract was investigated using SNU-16 human gastric cancer cells. Maximum cytotoxicity was observed using the chloroform fraction (CF) of the extract. Cell death was dose-dependent and was characterized by apoptotic body formation and DNA fragmentation. Flow cytometric analysis showed that treatment of chloroform fraction of dangyujaleaves (CFD) and chloroform fraction of guava leaves (CFG) resulted in a marked accumulation of cells in sub-G1 phase. The induction of apoptosis was confirmed by caspase-3 activity assays and by immunoblotting using antibodies against Bid, Bcl-2, Bax, poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP), caspase-9, caspase-8, caspase-7, and caspase-3. Together, our results provide the first evidence that the CFD and CFG extracts induces apoptosis in SNU-16 cells. Our findings may lead to new strategies for the treatment of human gastric cancer.
