Abstract:

AIM: To investigate the cytotoxic effect and apoptosis of volatile oil of the angelica on human lung adenocarcinoma cell GLC-82. METHODS: MTT colorimetric assay was used to investigate the cytotoxic effect of human lung adenocarcinoma cell GLC-82. The cell apoptosis was analyzed by flow cytometry. AO/BE fluorescent staining was applied to observe the cell apoptosis. RESULTS: The GLC-82 cell was inhibited by volatile oil of the angelica in a concentration-dependent manner; the IC50 was 113.03 μg/mL. The result of flow cytometry indicated volatile oil of the angelica could induce apoptosis and necrosis of GLC-82 cell, and the rates of apoptosis and necrosis were increased by the increase of drug concentration. The results of AO/BE fluorescent staining method indicated the rate of apoptosis and necrosis increased in drug group along with the increase of drug concentration. CONCLUSION: Volatile oil can induce the apoptosis of GLC-82 cell.

Key words: volatile oil of the angelica, human lung adenocarcinoma cell GLC-82, apoptosis
