Abstract:
Objective :To investigate the biological effect of part C and the potential mechanisms on Human Choriocarcinoma JAR Cell Line.
Methods :FCM was performed for measurement of phase of cell cycle; the expressions of Fas and Fasl wire determined by Western-blot and RT- PCR.
Results :Verbena officinalis could induce a G2 /M phase arrest to the different degrees in this cell line with the GO /G1 phase proportions down- regulated. Western- blot and RT- PCR analysis showed that Fasl proteinand Fas1mRNA were down-regulated after treatment, while Fas was not expressed before and after it.
Conclusions :G2/M phase arrest is one of the mechanisms of part C-induced Apoptosis. Fasl is involved in the process and its mechanisms may be reducing the expression of Fas1mRNA.
