| dc.description.abstract | modulation action on the expression of interleukin (IL)-6 and IL-12 by conducting an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). As a result, BRF with 75% of baicalein was found to be the most potent compound compared to cisplatin (anticancer drug) and MCE based on the IC50 values obtained from both cells. After 24 hours treatment period, Western blot analysis showed that BRF-treated SiHa and HeLa cells downregulated the expression of E6 and E7 and restored the induction of apoptosis process through the up-regulation of p53 and pRb in treated cells. In terms of mitochondrial-mediated apoptosis pathway, BRF has positively enhanced the activation pathway by downregulating Bcl-2 anti-apoptotic protein and upregulating the required key components such as Bax, caspase-9 as well as caspase-3. In regard to MAPK signalling cascade, the pro-apoptotic activities of BRF in SiHa and HeLa cells have been found to be MAPK-dependent as all its subfamilies involved in BRFinduced apoptosis but in different approach. BRF induced apoptosis in cervical cancer cells predominantly through ERK inhibition and JNK activation. Besides, BRF induced Bax activation by ERK/p38 dependent pathway and suppressed Bcl-2 expression through inhibition of ERK and activation of p38. Meanwhile for HeLa cells, activation of ERK/JNK/p38 pathways are required for Bax activation and inhibition of both ERK/p38 signalling promoted Bcl-2 downregulation in BRFtreated HeLa cells. Apoptosis induction by BRF also enhanced through IL-6 downregulation and IL-12 upregulation. Thus, these presented findings have proved the ability of BRF fractionated from O. indicum’s leaves to be exploited as a potential plant-based anti-cancer candidate for cervical cancer treatment. | en_US |
