However, the activities of SP against hepatocellular carcinoma and the related mechanisms remain unclear. The present study aimed to examine the effects of the essential oil of SP（SPEO） on the proliferation of hepatocellular carcinoma cells and the possible mechanisms. The growth inhibition of Hep G2 cells was analyzed by MTT assay. Hoechst 33258 and fluorescence microscopy were utilized to observe the nuclear morphological changes of apoptotic cells. Flow cytometry was used to detect cell apoptosis and cell cycle. The expressions of the target proteins were detected by Western blotting. The results showed that SPEO obviously inhibited the proliferation of Hep G2 cells in a dose-dependent manner. SPEO activated a series of apoptotic proteins in Hep G2 cells, increasing expression levels of Bax, caspase-3 and caspase-9, and decreasing the bcl-2 expression level. SPEO displayed promising anti-hepatocellular carcinoma activities in vitro, partly by inducing apoptosis in Hep G2 cells through activating the mitochondrial pathway.展开更多

Methods: Adjuvant arthritis (AA) model of rat was produced to observe the effect of AFSP on lymphocyte proliferation, interleukin-1 and -2 (IL-1,-2) activity, pathologic section of ankle joint, and analgesic effect, in model rat. Results: AFSP could reduce the inflammatory pathologic response of ankle joint. It has good analgesic effect, the analgesic rate being 65%. AFSP could also strengthen T-lymphocyte proliferation, promote IL-2 activity and inhibit IL-1 activity. Compared with the control group, the difference was significant (P<0.01). Conclusion: By means of regulating the immune function of organism, AFSP could improve the local pathologic response to antagonize against rheumatism, therefore, it is an effective anti-rheumatism herbal medicine.展开更多
