Abstract
En tr Hypericum perforatum has biological active contents affecting a variety of proteins such as caspase-3, bcl-2, and bax, which mediate apoptosis known as programmed cell death and exerting anti-inflammatory effect. Apoptotic pathways are important for cancers, chemotherapeutic resistance, and cancer development. Anti-inflammatory agents are also a potential target for cancer. Therefore, it was aimed to investigate the activity of caspase-3 and the expressions of bcl-2, bax, wee 1, gadd153, grp78, AIF, iNOS, COX-2, cPLA2, and NF-κB in H. perforatum extract-treated breast cancer (BC) cells in this study. The activity of caspase-3 and the expressions of these proteins were determined in the cells by ELISA. The HP extract increased the activity of caspase-3 and the expressions of bax, wee 1, gadd153, grp78 and AIF, and decreased the expressions of bcl-2, COX-2, iNOS, cPLA2 and NF-κB in the BC cells. In the light of these findings, HP extract could help to inhibit grow of BC cells and its anti-inflammatory effect may contribute this effect. Kantaron otu (Hypericum perforatum), programlanmış hücre ölümü olarak bilinen apoptoza aracılık eden kaspaz-3, bax ve bcl-2 gibi çeşitli proteinleri etkileyen ve antiinflamatuar etki gösteren biyolojik aktif içeriğe sahiptir. Apoptotik yolaklar kanserler, kemoterapötik direnç ve kanser gelişimi için önemlidir. Ayrıca, antiinflamatuar ajanlar kanser için bir potansiyel hedeftir. Bundan dolayı, bu çalışmada H. perforatum ekstresi ile muamele edilmiş meme kanseri hücrelerinde kaspaz-3'ün aktivitesinin ve bax, bcl-2, wee 1, gadd153, grp78, AIF, iNOS, COX-2, cPLA2 ve NF-κB ekspresyonlarının araştırılması amaçlandı. Hücrelerde kaspaz-3'ün aktivitesi ve proteinlerin ekspresyonları ELISA ile belirlendi. Ekstrakt, göğüs kanseri hücrelerinde kaspaz-3 aktivitesini ve bax, wee 1, gadd153, grp78 ve AIF ekspresyonunu arttırdı ve bcl-2, iNOS, COX-2, cPLA2 ve NF-κB ekspresyonunu azalttı. Bu bulgular ışığında, H. perforatum ekstresi, meme kanseri hücrelerinin büyümesini önlemeye yardımcı olabilir ve ekstrenin antiinflamatuar etkisi, bu etkiye katkıda bulunabilir.Keywords
