Alpinetin promotes Bax translocation, induces apoptosis through the mitochondrial pathway and arrests human gastric cancer cells at the G2/M phase
18 Dec 2012
Abstract excerpt
Alpinetin is a natural flavonoid widely distributed in Zingiberaceae. Previous studies have demonstrated that alpinetin markedly inhibits tumour growth. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying the antitumour effects of alpinetin are unclear. Bcl‑2‑associated X protein (Bax) translocation is known to activate the mitochondrial‑dependent endogenous apoptosis pathway. The aim of the current study was to...
