Objective To explore dihydroartemisinin(DHA)-induced changes in the expressions of apoptotic genes in HCT116 cells.Methods The expression levels of 84 apoptotic genes in HCT116 cells with or without DHA treatment were detected using RT ProfilerTM PCR Array Human Apoptosis and quantitative real-time PCR.Results In DHA-treated cells,the expression levels of 35 apoptotic genes changed significantly.Compared with controls,the expressions of some apoptotic genes such as TNFα,TRAILR,CASP,and GADD45 were up-regula...
