Objective To observe the effects of anthocyanin-rich extract from black rice alone or combined with chemotherapeutic agents on proliferation of human breast cancer cell line MCF-7 and leukemia cell line HL-60. Methods The proliferation of MCF-7 and HL-60 cells was measured by MTT assay. The distribution of cell cycle and apoptosis of HL-60 were determined by flow cytometry. Results Anthocyanin-rich extract from black rice could inhibit the proliferation of HL-60 and induce apoptosis and G

but it had no significant effect on MCF-7. The combined effects of anthocyanin-rich extract with paclitaxel or doxorubicin on MCF-7 and paclitaxel on HL-60 were additive. The combined effects of anthocyanin-rich extract with low-dose doxorubicin on HL-60 were synergetic and that with high-dose doxorubicin were antagonistic. Conclusion Anthocyanin-rich extract from black rice could significantly inhibit the proliferation of HL-60.
