OBJECTIVE To study the inhibition effects of ziyuglycoside Ⅱ on various tumor cells and the molecular mechanism underlying the ziyuglycosideⅡ-induced apoptosis of tumor cells. METHODS SRB method was used to measure the effect of ziyuglycosideⅡon the proliferation of cancer cells in vitro and western blot was used to test influences of ziyuglycosideⅡ on three pathways of apoptosis. RESULTS The intracellular ROS level of MDA-MB-231 was significantly up-regulated when treated with ziyuglycosideⅡ,which resulted the expression of CHOP and triggered the endoplasmic reticulum stress response. Besides,we observed that the expression of Bcl-2 was downregulated while the expression of Bax was up-regulated,which suggested the activation of mitochondrial apoptosis pathway. We also noticed the up-regulation of DR4 and DR5,which associated with the activation of death receptor pathways. CONCLUSION Through the activation of three apoptosis pathways,ziyuglycoside Ⅱ can inhibit the proliferation and promote the apoptosis of tumor cells.
