Asperfuranone from Aspergillus nidulans Inhibits Proliferation of Human Non‐Small Cell Lung Cancer A549 Cells via Blocking Cell Cycle Progression and Inducing Apoptosis

Abstract excerpt

Asperfuranone, a novel compound of genomic mining in Aspergillus nidulans, was investigated for its anti-proliferative activity in human non-small cell lung cancer A549 cells. To identity the anti-cancer mechanism of asperfuranone, we assayed its effect on apoptosis, cell cycle distribution, and levels of p53, p21 Waf1/Cip1, Fas/APO-1 receptor and Fas ligand. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay showed that the...
