Abstract: BACKGROUND&AIM: To study the anti-tumor effects of Sarcodonin G, extracted from Sarcodon scabrosus karst by dichlorolomethane on HeLa cell in vitro and explore the possible mechanisms. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The effect of Sarcodonin G on HeLa cell line was determined by MTT assay in vitro. The apoptosis induced by Sarcodonin G was studied by FCM. The morphological changes of HeLa cells were assessed by transmission electron microscope. RESULTS:Sarcodonin G dose dependently inhibited the proliferation of cultured HeLa cells, the IC50 was 7.19 μmol/L. Compared with the control group, the apoptosis rate and the expression of P53 in HeLa cells were markedly higher in the three Sarcodonin G group(P<0.01). The morphological changes of HeLa cells incubated with Sarcodonin G showed chromatin condensation, marginal and nuclear fragmentation. CONCLUSION: Sarcodonin G could inhibit the proliferation of HeLa cells in vitro. Its anti-tumor effect might be associated with up-regulating the expression of P53 and inducing apoptosis.
