Crocin Triggers the Apoptosis Through Increasing the Bax/Bcl-2 Ratio and Caspase Activation in Human Gastric Adenocarcinoma, AGS, Cells
24 Jan 2013
Abstract excerpt
We previously showed the anticancer property of crocin, a carotenoid isolated and purified from saffron against chemical-induced gastric and breast cancer in rats. In this study, the mechanism of crocin action was investigated in the gastric adenocarcinoma (AGS) cells in comparison with human normal fibroblast skin cells (HFSF-PI3). Crocin revealed a dose- and time-dependent cytotoxic effect against an AGS cell...
