Oleiferasaponin C6 from the seeds of Camellia oleifera Abel.: a novel compound inhibits proliferation through inducing cell-cycle arrest and apoptosis on human cancer cell lines in vitro

چکیده
A new oleanane-type saponin oleiferasaponin C6 (OSC6) was isolated and identified from Camellia oleifera seeds through NMR, HR-ESI-MS, and GC-MS spectroscopic methods. This new oleanane-type saponin exhibits potent cytotoxic activities on five human cancer cell lines (BEL-7402, BGC-823, MCF-7, HL-60 and KB), especially in HL-60 and BEL-7402 cell lines. The action mechanism of the anti-cancer activity of OSC6 was further investigated and it showed significant induction of cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in HL-60 and BEL-7402 cell lines by down-regulating CDK4, cyclin D1 and Bcl-2; up-regulating p21, caspase-3/9, p-p53 and Bax protein expression in vitro. These results suggested that the newly isolated saponin OSC6 is a potential therapeutic agent for the treatment of human cancer.

Effects of berberine on proliferation, cell cycle distribution and apoptosis of human breast cancer T47D and MCF7 cell lines
Objective(s):Berberine, a naturally occurring isoquinoline alkaloid, has shown antitumor properties in some in vitro systems. But the effect of berberine on breast cancer has not yet been completely studied. In this study, we evaluated anticancer properties of berberine in comparison to doxorubicin. Materials and Methods: The antiproliferative effects of berberine and doxorubicin alone and in ...

The proliferation of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells is one of the leading causes of liver cancer mortality in humans. The inhibiting effects of matrine on HCC cell proliferation have been studied, but the mechanism of that inhibition has not been fully elucidated. Since, apoptosis plays an important role in HCC cell proliferation. We examined the apoptosis-inducing effect of matrine on tu...

One new and three known triterpenoid saponins were isolated and identified from Camellia oleifera seeds through IR, NMR, HR-ESI-MS and GC-MS spectroscopic methods, namely oleiferasaponin A₃, oleiferasaponin A₁, camelliasaponin B₁, and camelliasaponin B₂. The structure of oleiferasaponin A₃ was elucidated as 16α-hydroxy-21β-O-angeloyl-22α-O-cinnamoyl-23α-aldehyde-28-dihydroxymethylene-olean-12-e...
