Objective:To explore the effects of asparagus extract on the inhibition of proliferation and apoptosis in human melanoma A 375 cells.Methods:The cell proliferation inhibition was measured by methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium(MTT) colorimetric assay;apoptosis and necrosis in A 375 cells were analysed by flow cytometry.Results:There was obviously a concentration dependent relationship between the asparagus extract and the inhibition of A 375 cells proliferation( P <0.01).The rates of apoptosis an...
