Induction of Apoptosis and Cell Cycle Blockade by Helichrysetin in A549 Human Lung Adenocarcinoma Cells

Abstract: Researchers are looking into the potential development of natural compounds for anticancer therapy. Previous studies have postulated the cytotoxic effect of helichrysetin towards different cancer cell lines. In this study, we investigated the cytotoxic effect of helichrysetin, a naturally occurring chalcone on four selected cancer cell lines, A549, MCF-7, Ca Ski, and HT-29, and further elucidated its biochemical and molecular mechanisms in human lung adenocarcinoma, A549. Helichrysetin showed the highest cytot… Show more

“…The characteristic morphological changes of the three cancer cells treated with AgNP and AuNP were spherical cells, cells detached from the culture or well plate, cell shrinkage, membrane blebbing, cytoplasmic condensation, bubbling and production of numerous cell surface protuberances at the plasma membrane. Similar changes in morphology of A-549, HEp-2 and MCF-7 cells have been reported by [46,47] and [48], respectively.…”

“…It had been reported that alterations in activated proteins (cyclins and cyclin-dependent kinases, etc. ), which led to failure of cell cycle arrest, may thus serve as markers of a more malignant phenotype and cell cycle-related genes aided in discrimination of atypical adenomatous hyperplasia from early adenocarcinoma [ 35 ]. Chen et al demonstrated that cell cycle progression effects on NF-κB activity represented a molecular basis underlying the aggressive tumor behavior [ 36 ].…”
