摘要: Phyllanthus urinaria (P. urinaria), a widely used herbal medicine, has been reported to possess various biological activities. This report aimed characterize the whole P. plant, present anticancer effects of both in vivo and vitro, explore relevant mechanisms. The water extract not only significantly reduces cell viability cancer lines from different origins but also suppresses tumor development C57BL/6J mice after implantation Lewis lung carcinoma (LCC) cells. activity is mainly due induced apoptosis cells as demonstrated by DNA fragmentation increased caspase-3 through intrinsic extrinsic pathways. decrease with treatment might be partially associated down-regulation telomerase activation induction apoptotic process. In addition, exhibits anti-angiogenic that mediated, at least part, suppression matrix metalloproteinase 2 (MMP-2) secretion inhibition MMP-2 zinc chelation.
