“…This showed the shift in the Cis-platinum mechanism from apoptosis to necrosis. These results are consistent with the prev[34]ious studies [17] indicating that Cis-platinum, similar to ethylacetate fractions of N. sativa had dual effects on ACHN cell lines. Our results are also in agreement with recent studies, showing that Cis-platinum induced apoptosis in A549 (human lung carcinoma ); HEP2 (human larynx epidermoid carcinoma); HT-29 (human colon adenocarcinoma) and MIA (human pancreas carcinoma) [35]; CP30 and A2780 (human ovarian cancer) ]36[; NT2 and NCCIT (testicular carcinoma) [30].…”
