Inhibitory effect of ginsenoside-Rh_2 on glioma cells cultivated in vitro / 吉林大学学报(医学版)

ABSTRACT

Objective To compare the inhibitory effects of ginsenoside-Rh_2,elemene and adriamycin(AMD) on glioma cells cultivated in vitro.Methods MTT was used to detect the inhibitory effects of ginsenoside-Rh_2,elemene and AMD on glioma cell lines(C6,SHg-44,U251).The survival rate-time curves were established.The abilities of three drugs to induce apoptosis of three cells lines were determined by flow cytometry.(Results The) inhibitory effects of the three drugs on the growth of C6,SHg-44 and U-251 were dose-dependent and could be enhanced with dose increasing.The inhibitory effects of Rh_2 was stronger than that of AMD and elemene on three glioma cell lines.The inhibitory concentration of Rh_2 on three cell lines was significantly lower than that of AMD and elemene(P
