6-dihydroxyflavone on the proliferation and apoptosis in breast cancer cell lines MCF-7 (ER
+
) and MDA-MB-231 (ER
-
)
colorectal carcinoma cell lines LoVo and DLD-1
prostatic cancer cell line PC3. Methods Cell proliferation was detected by MTT assay. The morphological changes in cancer cells were observed after DAPI staining. Cell apoptosis was determined by flow cytometry after Annexin V/PI staining. Results MTT assay showed that 3
6-dihydroxyflavone could significantly inhi
bit the proliferation of MCF-7
MDA-MB-23
LoVo
DLD-1 and PC3 cell lines. The IC
50
value for 48 h was 16.1
15.7
29.8
12.8 and 17.8 μmol/L
respectively. Morphological observation and apoptosis detection indicated dramatic proapoptotic morphological changes and enhanced cell apoptosis rate in all 5 cancer cells after treatment with 3
6-dihydroxyflavone at the dose of 10 μmol/L for 24 h. Conclusion 3
6-dihydroxyflavone has potent anti-cancer activity and can significantly inhibit the proliferation and induce apoptosis in cancer cells.
