It is useful to demonstrate induction of apoptosis in tumor cells by anti-cancer drugs in vivo. We reported the results of apoptosis induction in murine tumor cell line S-180 and it's resistant cell line S-180R by adriamycin in different dose and different time. We found that apoptosis in S-180 cells could be induced by low dose of adriamycin, the apoptosis was started at 24 h. after the administration, and reached to 62.5% of the cells to apptosis until 72 h. Comparison with the parental cell line, only 13% of S-180R cells were apoptosed. At high dose, 20% of S-180R cells were apoptosed, whereas, almost all S-180 cells were killed in the same time. The lymphocytes were appeared in abdominal cavity of the mice after treatment of adriamycin for 24 h. It was very interested to find out that there was no lymphocyte left in the abdominal cavity of the mice with S-180R cells treated at high dose of adriamycin.展开更多

This receptor is involved in neuroprotection. In the present study, we sought to identify an anti-apoptotic mechanism for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases. Primary cultured neurons were treated with different concentrations of rotenone for 48 hours. Morphological observation, cell counting kit-8 assay, lactate dehydrogenase detection and western blot assay demonstrated that 0.5 n M rotenone increased lactate dehydrogenase release, decreased the expression of procaspase-3 and Bcl-2, and increased cleaved caspase-3 expression in normal neurons. All these effects were prevented by geniposide. Our results indicate that geniposide diminished rotenone-induced injury in primary neurons by suppressing apoptosis. This may be one of the molecular mechanisms underlying the efficacy of geniposide in the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases.展开更多
