“…Cytoplasmic shrinkage, a lack of cell-cell connections, and active membrane blebbing are some of the early morphological changes in apoptotic cells. In recent years, the discovery of anticancer drugs has focused on the production of apoptosis, and an antitumor treatment that specifically induces apoptosis in tumor cells may be the best option [4,5]. Throughout history, natural components have been widely utilized as remedies for medical purposes, mainly due to the perception that they pose minimal adverse effects.…”

Previous studies have reported the anticancer properties of β-glucan on various cancer cells. The objective of this research was to investigate the involvement of apoptosis in the cytotoxic action of β-glucan on the A549 cells. The cytotoxic impact of this drug on A549 cells was examined by subjecting them to various quantities of the substance, and the XTT assay was utilized to determine cell survival. Flow cytometry was performed to investigate apoptosis. A statistically significant and dose-dependent cytotoxic impact on A549 cells was observed upon treatment with β-glucan. The calculated IC50 value of β-glucan for A549 cells after a 24-hour treatment period was discovered to be 82.16 μg/mL. Further investigations carried out using the IC50 dose of β-glucan revealed a significant increase in the late apoptotic cells percentage. The capacity of β-glucan to trigger apoptosis is thought to be the cause of its cytotoxic action on lung cancer. The revelation of this discovery emphasizes the promising possibilities of β-glucan as an effective therapeutic choice.
