A Study on Cytotoxic and Apoptotic Potential of a Triterpenoid Saponin (3-O-α-L-Arabinosyl Oleanolic Acid) Isolated from Schumacheria castaneifolia Vahl in Human Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer (NCI-H292) Cells

Lung cancer is the major cause of cancer death among men. A number of natural compounds have proven to be useful in the treatmet of lung cancer. This study was aimed to determine cytotoxic and apoptotoic effects of a natural compound 3-O-α-L-arabinosyl oleanolic acid (3-O-L-AO) isolated from Schumac...

description Lung cancer is the major cause of cancer death among men. A number of natural compounds have proven to be useful in the treatmet of lung cancer. This study was aimed to determine cytotoxic and apoptotoic effects of a natural compound 3-O-α-L-arabinosyl oleanolic acid (3-O-L-AO) isolated from Schumacheria castaneifolia in non-small-cell lung cancer (NCI-H292) cells. Cytotoxic effects of 3-O-L-AO were determined by Sulforhodamine B (SRB) assay and apoptotic effects were tested by evaluating (a) apoptotsis related morphological changes, (b) caspase 3/7 activity, and (c) expression of Bax, p53, and survivin genes. Oxidative stress markers (reactive oxygen species (ROS), glutathione-S-transferase (GST), and glutathione (GSH)) were also analysed in 3-O-L-AO treated NCI-H292 cells. 3-O-L-AO exerted potent cytotoxic effects in NCI-H292 cells while being less cytotoxic to normal lung (MRC-5) cells. Exposure to 3-O-L-AO caused upregulation of Bax and p53 and downregulation of survivin in NCI-H292 cells. Activation of caspase 3/7 and morphological features related to apoptosis further confirmed 3-O-L-AO induced apoptosis. Furthermore, elevated ROS and GST levels and decreased GSH levels suggested 3-O-L-AO can induce apoptosis, possibly causing oxidative stress in NCI-H292 cells. Overall results suggest that 3-O-L-AO can be considered as an effective anticancer agent for the treatment of lung cancer.
