Abstract
The issue of Cervical cancer has received considerable critical attention. It was the leading cause of death in female cancer patients. Ginsenoside Rg5 has been implicated in the growth of human cancer cells, but the lack of research to determine the influence mechanism has been a significant challenge for many years. In this study, ginsenoside Rg5 was used to treat HeLa cells, and RT-qPCR, Western Blotting and RNA-seq were used to analyze the differentially expressed genes in HeLa cells to study the preliminary mechanism of ginsenoside Rg5 on cervical cancer. The results of RT-qPCR and Western Blotting were in agreement with RNA-seq analysis, which showed a down-regulation of proteins in the cell cycle pathway. These results all indicate that the expression of Minichromosome Maintenance Complex Component 6 (MCM6), Cyclin A2 (CCNA2), Cyclin-dependent kinase 6 (CDK6) and Cell division cycle 6 (CDC6) in HeLa cells treated with ginsenoside Rg5 is significantly reduced, with MCM6 exhibiting the most significant inhibitory effect, making it a potential target for the treatment of cervical cancer.
期刊介绍:
The FSB journal covers food chemistry and analysis for compositional and physiological activity changes, food hygiene and toxicology, food microbiology and biotechnology, and food engineering involved in during and after food processing through physical, chemical, and biological ways. Consumer perception and sensory evaluation on processed foods are accepted only when they are relevant to the laboratory research work. As a general rule, manuscripts dealing with analysis and efficacy of extracts from natural resources prior to the processing or without any related food processing may not be considered within the scope of the journal. The FSB journal does not deal with only local interest and a lack of significant scientific merit. The main scope of our journal is seeking for human health and wellness through constructive works and new findings in food science and biotechnology field.
