“…It also reduced the infiltration of mast cells, attenuated the expression of Ki-67, NF-κB/ p65, COX-2, inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), while enhancing the expression of p53, connexin-43, caspase-9, and cleaved caspase-3, which suggested the induction of apoptosis [43], also agreeing with other studies [29,42]. GA reportedly induced G0/G1 phase arrest, apoptosis, and DNA damage in WEHI-3 leukemia cells by increasing reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels and caspase-3 activity in these cells [44]. Researchers concluded that GA induced apoptosis through the death receptor, mitochondria-mediated, and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress signaling pathways [44].…”
