Abstract: OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effect of phenylethanol glycoside liposomes from Cistanche (CPhG) on proliferation,apoptosis and cell cycle of HSC-T6. METHODS:HSC cultures were divided into untreated control and treated with low,medium and high concentrations of CPhG liposomes (7.36,14.72,29.45 μg/mL,respectively). Growth inhibition was detected by using the MTT assay,apoptosis was evaluated by Annexin V-FITC/PI staining and cell cycle changes were detected by flow cytometry. Protein expressions of cleaved caspase-3,p27 were detected using Western blotting. RESULTS:Compared with the control group,all treatment doses significantly inhibited cell proliferation and promoted apoptosis (P < 0.05). In addition,cells were arrested in the G0/G1 phase and showed significant up-regulated expression of caspase-3 and p27 proteins (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION:CPhG liposomes inhibited HSC cell proliferation,induced apoptosis and caused cell cycle arrest by up-regulating the protein expression of caspase-3 and p27.
