Abstract

Abstract:

Lycium barbarum polysaccharides (LBP), isolated with boiling water from Lycium barbarum fruits, a famous Chinese medicinal herb, is one of the most important functional constituents in Lycium barbarum. In this study, the effect of LBP at the range of 3.125 to 200 mg/L on the proliferation of Hela cells was measured. After Hela cells were treated with LBP, typical apoptotic morphological changes were observed by fluorescence microscope, transmission electron microscope (TEM) and laser scanning confocal microscope (LSCM). Terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) assay also confirmed that LBP-treated Hela cells showed apoptotic features. The results suggest that LBP is a potential antitumor compound.

Key words: Lycium barbarum polysaccharides, human cervical carcinoma Hela cells, apoptosis, morphology
