This study aimed to find out the mechanism of cytotoxic effects of galls of Quercus Brantii on A375 and SK-MEL-3 melanoma and AGO-1522 normal human fibroblast cell lines for the first time. Therefore, cell viability and cytotoxic activities were evaluated. Furthermore, ROS formation, lipid peroxidation, and release of cytochrome-c were also assessed. The results revealed that the extract of these galls at a concentration of 0.05 mg/ml significantly (P<0.001) increased cytotoxicity, ROS formation, TBARS formation, and cytochrome-c release in A375 and SK-MEL-3 melanoma cell lines compared to AGO-1522 normal human fibroblast. These results demonstrated that these galls can be considered a promising candidate which acts in synergy with anticancer agents used in the clinical treatment of human malignant melanoma.
本研究首次旨在探讨盐肤木虫瘿对 A375 和 SK-MEL-3 黑色素瘤及 AGO-1522 正常人成纤维细胞系的细胞毒性作用机制。为此,评估了细胞活力和细胞毒性作用。此外,还评估了 ROS 形成、脂质过氧化和细胞色素-c 的释放。结果表明,与 AGO-1522 正常人成纤维细胞相比,浓度为 0.05mg/ml 的这些虫瘿提取物可显著(P<0.001)增加 A375 和 SK-MEL-3 黑色素瘤细胞系的细胞毒性、ROS 形成、TBARS 形成和细胞色素-c 释放。这些结果表明,这些虫瘿可被视为一种有前途的候选物,可与用于临床治疗人类恶性黑色素瘤的抗癌药物协同作用。
