- Abstract
Deficiency in apoptosis is one of the key factors that plays a pivotal role in cancer cell growth and proliferation. A procedure used in the treatment of cancer is the triggering of apoptosis in cancer cells. The current study aims to investigate the anticancer property of ethanolic extract of Amomum subulatum Roxb. against HeLa cell line. The MTT 3-(4, 5-di-methylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl-2H tetrazolium bromide assay is the quantitative cytotoxicity assay used, maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) value was selected as the cytotoxicity parameter. The IC50 value of A. subulatum Roxb. extract is 62.5 µg/mL and for 5-fluorouracil it is 7.8 µg/mL which indicates anticarcinogenic properties against HeLa cells. The apoptotic morphological changes in HeLa cells were observed using an inverted microscope and changes in HeLa cells were noticed after treatment with 62.5 mg/mL of ethanolic extracts, followed by acridine orange and ethidium bromide staining. The induction of apoptosis by extract of A. subulatum Roxb. was determined using the DNA fragmentation study. The results of the DNA fragmentation study, which exhibits prototypical intrinsic apoptotic characterization, also included fragmentation of nuclear DNA. We also found that the expression of Bcl2 and p53 mRNA were measured using RT-PCR. Overall, the current study results suggest that the ethanolic extract of A. subulatum Roxb. is more likely to be beneficial in managing cervical cancer.
