Objective:
[corrected] To investigate the effect of apoptosis induced in human SGC-7901 cells by Harmine.
Methods:
The effect of Harmine on human SGC-7901 cell survival and apoptosis was determined by MTT assay, light microscopy and flow cytometry. Cell genomic DNA was detected by agarose electrophoresis.
Results:
The survival of human SGC-7901 cells decreased; Apoptotic cells were observed by fluorescent microscope; FCM analysis showed that the peak of apoptosis increased. Typical DNA Ladder were detected in DNA agarose gel electrophoresis.
Conclusion:
HM can induce apoptosis in human SGC-7901 cells.
