[The apoptosis of human gastric cancer cell induced by Acanthopanax giraldii Harms var Hispidus Hoo Polysaccharides in vitro].

Abstract

Objective: To investigate the effect of Acanthopanax Giraldii Harms Var Hispidus Hoo polysaccharides (AGP-I) on the human gastric cancer cell.

Methods: DNA agarose gel electrophoresis and flow cytometry techniques were adopted.

Results: After treatment with AGP-I, apoptotic peaks in cell cycle analysis and DNA ladder on the agarose gel were observed.

Conclusion: The results indicate that AGP-1 may inhibit cancer by inducing cancer cell apoptosis.
