Anticancer, Antiproliferative and Lactate Dehydrogenase Enzyme Activities of Astragalus elongatus subsp. nucleiferus on Human Cancer Cells
Abstract
In this study, potential
anticancer and antiproliferative activities of ethanol and water extracts from aerial parts and roots of Astragallus elongatus subsp. nucleiferus were evaluated. In this
context, MTT, trypan blue, and LDH enzyme activity assays were performed to
determine cytotoxicity and cell proliferation potentials of the plant extracts
against human A549, H1299, C6 cancer cells, and non-tumorous HUVECs. Based on
cytotoxicity against the cancer cells, the various concentrations of the
extracts were selected for in vitro
assays. As a result of MTT and trypan blue assays,
dose-dependent anticancer and antiproliferative effects were observed on tested
human lung and brain carcinoma cells. The water extracts obtained from root of
the plant exerted higher anticancer activity with IC50 values
ranging from 5.81±0.46 to 18.24±0.12µg/mL than the aerial parts of the
extracts. Besides increasing extract concentration lead to decrease the growth
rate of the cancer cells, apoptosis was observed in the tested human malignant
cells. In contrary anticancer and cytotoxicity results, the ethanol extract of
the root was also caused to the highest apoptosis level in a dose dependently. Regarding LDH activity, the
plant extracts obtained from aerial parts and roots were demonstrated the
highest LDH activity towards H1299 cells, which was followed by A549 cells. The
results were found a similar activity profile as observed in MTT
and trypan blue assays. These results obtained from this work showed that the roots of the plant
are able to inhibit cell growth in cancer cells in a time and concentration
dependently.
