Abstract

Objectives : This study was performed to determine if Orostschys japonicus A. Berger has protective effects against CML in K562 cell lines. Materials and Methods : MTT assay, cell proliferation assay, Reverse transcription-polymerase reaction chain, RT-PCR, DNA fragmentation assay, Quantitative PCR were studied. Results : Orostschys japonicus A. Berger had no effects on Bax gene in K562 cell lines, but decreased Bcl-2 gene, and increased the Caspases-3 gene. This is indicate of induced apoptosis in K562 cell lines by Orostschys japonicus A. Berger. Conclusion : These results suggest that Orostschys japonicus A. Berger has effects on apatosis in K562 cell lines.
