Abstract

This study examined the inhibitory effect of extracts of Trichosanthes kirilpwii sorted according to the parts on the growth of HL-60 cells. The growth of HL-60 leukemia cells was markedly inhibited by the treatment of the 80% methanol extract of roots (10 $\mu\textrm{g}$/mι), stems (50$\mu\textrm{g}$/mι), pips (10$\mu\textrm{g}$/mι), and gourds (100 $\mu\textrm{g}$/mι), or the ethylacetate fraction of leaves (100 $\mu\textrm{g}$/mι). when the HL-60 cells were treated with the extracts of T. kirilpwii sorted according to the parts, DNA fragmentation and sub-G1 hypodiploid cells were observed. Moreover, T. kirilpwii extracts increased the level of the expression of the active form of caspase-3 and the activation of caspase-3 was demonstrated by the cleavage of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase, a vital substrate of effector caspase. The results suggest that the inhibitory effect of extracts of T. kirilpwii sorted according to the parts on the growth of HL-60 cells seems to arise from the induction of apoptosis.
