摘要: Benzamide riboside (BR) is a novel anticancer agent exhibiting potent cytotoxic activity in malignant cell lines. However, the mechanism of induction apoptosis not clear. The purpose this study was to elucidate apoptotic signaling induced by BR on different human cancer Our results revealed that at dose 50 μM induces SiHa, Hep2, and Ca Ski cells as studied morphology flow cytometry. A downregulation anti-apoptotic proteins Bcl-2 Bcl-xL observed, whereas expression level pro-apoptotic protein Bax remained unaffected. An upregulation p53 observed while no change seen inducing factor (AIF). significant increase caspase-3 -9 activities seen, which accompanied PARP cleavage. Release cytochrome c from mitochondria cytosol also observed. Taken together, findings suggest via intrinsic mitochondrial pathway.
