Abstract:

      It has been reported that different species of Euphorbia (Euphorbiaceae) have antitumor activity. Some reports also show that these plants have potential cytotoxic effect against different cell lines. In a program to screen the cytotoxicity of Iranian native plants, Euphorbia macroclada Boiss. was collected, identified, and the cytotoxic activity of dichloromethane, ethylacetate, methanol extracts, and the plant latex were determined against MDA-MB-468 cell line. Different concentration of extracts and latex were added to 24 h cultured cells and then incubated for 72 h under specific condition (37 °C, 5% CO2). Cell survival was evaluated using MTT assay. The results of this study indicated that, dichloromethane and ethylacetate extracts had cytotoxic effects on cell line, while the methanol extract and latex were not cytotoxic at the tested concentrations. The data from this investigation suggest that the nonpolar extracts of E. macroclada possess higher cytotoxic activity.

The Cytotoxicity Effect of Extracted Pigment from Haloarcula sp. on MDA-MB-468 Breast Cancer Cell Line

Background: Halophilic microorganisms have the potential to produce new biomolecules, including anti-cancer compounds, for medical applications. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the anti-cancer properties of pigments extracted from native Iranian halophilic Archaeon. Materials and Methods: Pigment extract of Haloarcula sp. previously isolated and identified from Aran-Bidgol Lake was e...

Cell Kinetic Study of Tamoxifen Treated MCF-7 and MDA-MB 468 Breast Cancer Cell Lines

Apoptosis could be a major mechanism of antitumor effect of tamoxifen. Therefore this study is designed to characterize the kinetic behavior of tamoxifen-induced apoptosis in the estrogen receptor positive (ER+) and negative (ER-) cell lines, MCF-7 and MDA-MB-468. Frequency of cell death was examined by trypan blue and acridine orange staining. Annexin V-Fluorescein/PI was used in flow cytometr...

Programmed cell death in an estrogen-independent human breast cancer cell line, MDA-MB-468.

Previous studies have demonstrated that estrogen-responsive human breast cancer cells can be induced to undergo an energy-dependent, genetically programmed series of biochemical changes that result in the active suicide of the cells following estrogen ablation. In contrast, estrogen-independent human breast cancer cells do not activate this programmed cell death pathway following estrogen ablat...

Breast Cancer Cell Line, MDA-MB-468 Programmed Cell Death in an Estrogen-independent Human

Previous studies have demonstrated that estrogen-responsive human breast cancer cells can be induced to undergo an energy-dependent, genetically programmed series of biochemical changes that result in the active suicide of the cells following estrogen ablation. In contrast, estro gen-independent human breast cancer cells do not activate this pro grammed cell death pathway following estrogen abl...
