Objective:To investigate the effect of saponins extracted from Kangaisan on induction of apoptosis in human hepatic carcinoma Bel-7402 cells and its molecular mechanisms.
Methods:The growth inhibition of human hepatic carcinoma Bel-7402 cells was measured by MTT assay. The effect of saponins extracted from Kangaisan on induction of apoptosis of Bel-7402 cells was studied by light microscopy and flow cytometry (FCM), respectively. Immunocytochemical method was performed to analyze the expression of Bcl-2...
