The anti cancer
properties and underlying cell death mechanism induced by the extract of the
roots of Cnidium officinale Makino(COM) were investigated. The ethanolic extract of COM inhibited the
proliferation of human colon cancer cells (HT-29) in both dose-dependent and
time-dependent manners. Analysis of the cell cycle after treatment of HT-29
cells with various concentrations of COM showed that COM extract inhibited the
cellular proliferation of HT-29 cells via G1 phase arrest of the cell cycle. The
apoptotic effect of COM on HT-29 cells was confirmed by Annexin V- propidium
iodide apoptosis test. RT-PCR and Western blot analysis both revealed that COM
extract dose-dependently increased the expressions of p53, p21, Bax and
Caspase-3. Anti-apoptotic factor Bcl-2 expression was down regulated as well as
cyclin D1 and CDK4. These data suggest that COM has anti cancer properties by
inducing apoptosis and cell cycle arrest in HT-29 cells and could have possible
therapeutic potential against human colon adenocarcinoma.
