abstract

objectives: 7-prenyloxycoumarins are a group of secondary metabolites that are found mainly in plants belonging to the rutaceae and umbelliferae families. this study was designed to evaluate and compare the cytotoxic and apoptotic activity of 7-prenyloxycoumarin compounds and herniarin on mcf-7, a breast carcinoma cell line. materials and methods: cells were cultured in rpmi medium and incubated with different concentrations of auraptene, herniarin, umbelliferone, and umbelliprenin. cell viability was quantified by mtt assay. apoptotic cells were determined using propidium iodide staining of dna fragmentation by flow cytometry (sub-g1peak). bax protein expression was detected by western blot to investigate the underlying mechanism. results: doses which induced 50% cell growth inhibition (ic50) against mcf-7 cells with auraptene, herniarin, umbelliferone, and umbelliprenin were calculated (59.7, 207.6, 476.3, and 73.4 µm), respectively. auraptene induced a sub-g1 peak in the flow cytometry histogram of treated cells compared to control cells, and dna fragmentation suggested the induction of apoptosis. western blot analysis showed that auraptene significantly up-regulated bax expression in mcf-7 cells compared to untreated controls. conclusion: auraptene exerts cytotoxic and apoptotic effects in breast carcinoma cell line and can be considered for further mechanistic evaluations in human cancer cells. these results candidate auraptene for further studies to evaluate its biosafety and anti-cancer effects.

The Genotoxic and Cytotoxic Effects of Bisphenol-A (BPA) in MCF-7 Cell Line and Amniocytes

Bisphenol-A (BPA) is an industrial xenoestrogen used widely in our living environment. Recently, several studies suggested that BPA has destructive effects on DNA and chromosomes in normal body cells via estrogen receptors (ER). Therefore, BPA could be considered as an important mediator in many diseases such as cancer. However, there are still many controversial issues which need clarification...

The Evaluation of Radio-sensitivity Effect of Hydroxyapatite Nanopartical on MCF-7 and Fibroblast Cell Line

Introduction: Hydroxyapatite nanoparticles inhibit the growth of various cancer cells. The inhibitory effect of these nanoparticles on breast cancer cells of mcf7 has also been reported. However, no studies have been done on the effect of the hydroxyapatite nanoparticles on the radiation sensitivities of the MCF7 cell Line. Our goal in this study is to investigate the effect of...

Evaluation of the Bystander effect caused ultrasound waves on the MCF-7 cell line

Introduction: Non-target radiation effects are damages and effects that occur without the need for direct radiation exposure in cells. Bystander signals cause non-targeted irradiation effect that has been defined as radiation responses in which non-irradiated cells exhibit irradiated effects as a result of signals from adjacent irradiated cells. In this study, the bystander ef...

Cytotoxicity Effect of Cladribine on the MCF-7 Human Breast Cancer Cell Line

Cladribine, an analogue of deoxyadenosine, is highly toxic for both non-dividing and proliferating cells and has shown activity in the treatment of several malignancies. Therefore, the aim of the present study is to investigate the cytotoxicity effect of cladribine (2-CdA) on the breast cancer cell line, MCF-7 (estrogen receptor positive, ER+). MTT assay, annexin V-Fluorescein/PI and Hoechst 33...
