Matrine, as a member of Sophora family, is an alkaloid found in plants, and produces plethora pharmacological effects, including anti-cancer effects. However, the mechanism involved remains largely unknown. This study is conducted to investigate the anti-cancer mechanisms of matrine in human esophageal cancer in vitro and in vivo. In human esophageal cancer cell Eca-109, matrine significantly decreased...
Matrine, a clinical drug in China, has been used to treat viral hepatitis, cardiac arrhythmia and skin inflammations. Matrine also exhibits chemotherapeutic potential through its ability to trigger cancer cell death. However, the mechanisms involved are still largely unknown. The objective of this study was to investigate the major determinant for the cell death induced by matrine in human...
Bid has multiple functions in apoptosis, survival, and proliferation. The role of Bid in etoposide-induced-DNA damage in HCC has not been investigated. Here, we report that p53-overexpression led to the notable up-regulation of the expression of Bid protein, whereas the acquired expression of Bid by PLC/PRF/5 cells dramatically decreased the p53 level. Upon the administration of a high dose of etoposide...
