The Antioxidant and Pro-apoptotic effects of Sternbergia clusiana Bulb Ethanolic Extract on Breast Cancer Cells in vitro by El Samarji, Mona

“…MDA-MB-231 cells treated with SbBEE exhibited morphological and biochemical hallmarks of apoptosis that were detected through DNA fragmentation, the hyper-expression of phosphatidylserine on the outer leaflet of cells membrane and the upregulation of proteins able to mediate cell death through apoptosis (c-PARP, Bax/ Bcl2). The prominent decrease in ROS levels upon treatment confirmed the antioxidant property of the extract being investigated, highlighting the promising effect of SbBEE in breast cancer treatment.…”
