Description Purpose: Accumulating evidence indicates that glycyrrhizin (GZ) and its hydrolyzed metabolite 18-ẞ glycyrrhetinic acid (GA) exhibit anti-inflammatory and anticancer activities. The objective of this study was to examine the in vitro cytotoxic activity of GA on human ovarian cancer A2780 cells.
Methods: A2780 cells were cultured in RPMI1640 containing 10% fetal bovine serum. Cells were treated with different doses of GA and cell viability and proliferation were detected by dye exclusion and 3-bis-(2-methoxy-4-nitro-5-sulfophenyl)-2H-tetrazolium-5- carboxanilide (XTT) assays. Apoptosis induction and expression of Fas and Fas ligand (FasL) were analyzed by flow cytometry.
Results: We observed that GA decreases cell viability and suppressed cells proliferation in a dose-dependent manner as detected by dye-exclusion and XTT assayes. In addition, our flow cytometry data show that GA not only induces apoptosis in …
