Induction of apoptosis by parthenolide in human oral cancer cell lines and tumor xenografts

Highlights • Parthenolide (PTL) induces caspase-mediated apoptosis in human oral cancer cell lines. • PTL augments Bim protein by enhancing either Bim mRNA or its protein stability. • PTL also induces death receptor 5 accompanied with caspase 8 and truncated Bid. • PTL suppresses tumor growth throug...

Zusammenfassung:Highlights • Parthenolide (PTL) induces caspase-mediated apoptosis in human oral cancer cell lines. • PTL augments Bim protein by enhancing either Bim mRNA or its protein stability. • PTL also induces death receptor 5 accompanied with caspase 8 and truncated Bid. • PTL suppresses tumor growth through apoptosis in nude mice tumor xenograft. • There are no abnormal histopathological findings in normal organs upon PTL treatment.
