Abstract

This study was presented to the anti-cancer activity from different fraction of Zanthoxylum schnifolium fruits. The values for human colon cancer cell(HT-29) survival rate of 0.3 mg/mL of 70% EtOH and 70% MeOH ethyl acetate fraction extracts were 7.62${\pm}$0.173%, 7.66${\pm}$0.037%, respectively. It was shown that human colon cancer cell(HT-29) survival rate was in a dose-dependent manner. The percentages of cells were increased in the sub-G0 and G0/G1 phase region, meaning that cell proliferation was decreased. The RT-PCR demonstrated that 70% EtOH and 70% MeOH ethyl acetate fraction extracts were down-regulated the expression of Bcl-2 and survivin genes in HT-29 cells. We examined that 70% EtOH and 70% MeOH ethyl acetate fraction extracts anti-cancer activities initiated through ROS generation suggesting that HT-29 cells treated with ethyl acetate fraction extracts induced ROS generation. Our results revealed that the Zanthoxylum schnifolium fruit may expect for anti-cancer activities in HT-29 cells.
