Methods: Hep G2 cells were tested against different doses of A. vera and C. comosum. Viability of the cells was assessed by MTT assay. Evaluation of apoptosis and DNA damage in HepG 2 cells were performed using annexin V apoptosis detection kit. The expression of p53 and anti-apoptotic(Bcl-2) were tested by real time-PCR and flow cytometer analyser. Hematoxylin and eosin stained sections from untreated and treated HepG 2 cells were observed using light microscopy.Results: The IC50 values of A. vera and C. comosum extracts were(10.45 ± 0.31) and(9.60 ± 0.01) μg/mL respectively. The extracts separately increased cytotoxicity against HepG 2 cells in a time and dose dependent manners. Also, it apparently induced apoptosis through increase P53 and decrease Bcl-2 genes expressions.Conclusions: The results indicated that the extracts could have anti-hepatocarcinogenic effect, at least in part, through modulation of apoptosis.展开更多

The results showed that the biomass of Treatment T3 was significantly greater than that of treatments T1 and CK. The root-shoot ratio decreased significantly in treatments T1, T2 and T3 , and the decrease in T3 was most obvious. In all the three treatments with coloring agent, a ^＊ , b ^＊ and L ^＊ values were increased gradually, C value were decreased, H0 and CIRG were increased, and the leaves were pink. In addition, the contents of chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, chlorophyll a ＋ b and carotenoid were significantly decreased. The contents of soluble sugar and starch were also decreased, and the decrease in Treatment T2 was most significant. The contents of soluble protein and total nitrogen were increased, and the increase was most dramatic in Treatment T3. The carbon to nitrogen ratio was decreased. The results proved that staining can improve the ornamental value of indoor plants, despite its effects on plant carbon and nitrogen nutrition of C. comosum vat. variegatum, dyeing.展开更多
