Effects of two saponins extracted from the polygonatum Zanlanscianense pamp on the human leukemia (HL-60) cells.

چکیده
Two saponins, methyl protodioscin and dioscin, were extracted from the root of Polygonatum Zanlanscianense Pamp. One of them, dioscin exerted significant inhibitory effects on the growth of the human leukemia cell HL-60, inducing differentiation and apoptosis. HL60 cells were induced mainly along the granulocytic lineage. In addition, we have found that dioscin affects many cancer cells. These studies may have important significance in treating related cancers.

Proteomic approach to study the cytotoxicity of dioscin (saponin).
Dioscin, extracted from the root of Polygonatum zanlanscianense pamp, exhibits cytotoxicity towards human myeloblast leukemia HL-60 cells. Proteomic analysis revealed that the expression of mitochondrial associated proteins was substantially altered in HL-60 cells corresponding to the dioscin treatment, suggesting that mitochondria are the major cellular target of dioscin. Mitochondrial functio...
متن کاملGnidilatimonoein from Daphne mucronata induced differentiation and apoptosis in leukemia cell lines
Among various treatments, plants play a crucial role in cancer chemotherapy. Base on literature data, different species of the thymeleaeceae family have been found to be good sources for anticancer agents. Therefore, our laboratory has initiated a research project on evaluating the anticancer properties of the Iranian medical plant, Daphne mucronata (Thymeleaeceae). Gnidilatimonoein is a new di...

متن کاملApoptosis induced by dioscin in Hela cells.
Dioscin, a saponin extracted from the root of Polygonatum Zanlanscianense Pamp, markedly inhibited proliferation of Hela cells. The results indicated that Hela cells underwent apoptosis in dose- and time-dependent manners when treated with Dioscin. Caspase-3, -8 and -9 activities were also detected. The low enzymatic activity of caspase-8 and high activity of caspase-9 showed that the mitochond...
