Abstract:
Objective: To study the inhibitory effect of total alkaloids from lotus seed on human hepatoma HepG2 cells.Methods: The effect of total alkaloids from lotus seed on the growth of HepG2 cells was studied by CCK-8 kit.The apoptosis rate of HepG2 cells was detected by flow cytometry.Results: When the action time was the same, with the increase of drug concentration, the inhibitory rate of total alkaloids from lotus seed on HepG2 cells increased, in a dose-dependent manner.At 72 h, the half inhibitory concentration (IC50) of total alkaloids from lotus seed on HepG2 cells was 1.501 μg·ml-1.At the same concentration, the inhibitory rate of the total alkaloids from lotus seed on HepG2 cells increased with the extension of the action time.At 72 h, the inhibition rate of 10 μg·ml-1 total alkaloids from lotus seed reached 72%.After treated with the total alkaloids from lotus seed at different concentrations, the apoptosis rate of HepG2 cells significantly increased in a dose-dependent manner.Compared with the blank control group, the difference was statistically significant (P <0.05), and the apoptosis rate of HepG2 cells was 85.6% treated with 20 μg·ml-1 total alkaloids from lotus seed.Conclusion: The total alkaloids from lotus seed can induce cell apoptosis and inhibit the proliferation of human hepatoma HepG2 cells.
