Abstract:Gambogic acid (GA) is a natural xanthonoid secreted by Garcinia hanburyi tree. It possesses anti-cancer activity in various types of cancers. In gastric cancer, it inhibits cell proliferation through increasing apoptosis. However, whether necroptosis is involved in the GA-induced proliferation inhibited in gastric cancer is unknown. In the present study, we found that RIPK1 specific inhibitor necrostatin-1 (Nec-1) attenuated GA-induced proliferation inhibition. GA treatment increased the phosphorylation of nec… Show more
