Abstract:
Objective To study the inhibition effect of leech extract on HepG2 cells. Methods Human hepatocellular cancer cell line HepG2 were treated with different concentrations of leech extracts which were extracted by method of freeze-thawing with liquid nitrogen and contrasted with that by method of water extracting and ethanol precipitating. The inhibition effects and cell morphous were examined by MTT assay and Acridine orange (AO) fluorescent staining method respectively. Result The 6~15 mg/mL drug concentrations of leech extract by method of freeze-thawing with liquid nitrogen had an obvious inhibition on proliferation of HepG2 cells in a dose-dependent manner, and the effect was better than that by method of water extracting and ethanol precipitating (P
