Background: Osteosarcoma (OS) is the most common primary bone malignancy that affects children and adolescents. It is considered as a serious threat to the human health globally. For many years plants and natural constitutes components such as vitamin C (ascorbic acid), green tea have been used as anti-cancer drugs. Aim: The objective of this in vitro study was to investigate the effect of vitamin C, green tea and their combination on Mg-63 cell line. Material Methods: Treatment of cell line (Mg-63) by different concentrations of vitamin, green tea and their combination was done to evaluate the viability of the treated cells by SRB assay. Microscopic examination and were applied. Results: Regarding cytotoxicity effect of vitamin C, green tea and their combination on Mg-63cell line, it was noticed that cell distribution showed a variable arrest at different phase of cell division. Where there was nonsignificant difference of arrested cells of these drugs compared with its value in non-treated G0-G1 phase control cells while there was a significant elevated arrest of treated cells during the G2-M phase and the significant difference of cell arrest at G2-M phase was type of treatment related. Conclusion:From the results of the present study, we noticed that vitamin green tea and their combination have cytotoxic effect on Mg-63 cell line, it also induced an effect on the cell cycle distribution, resulting in apoptosis, necrosis and autophagy.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
