A novel synthetic 2-(3-methoxyphenyl)-6,7-methylenedioxoquinolin-4-one arrests the G2/M phase arrest via Cdc25c and induces apoptosis through caspase- and mitochondria-dependent pathways in TSGH8301 human bladder cancer cells
Abstract:Abstract. 2-(3-methoxyphenyl)-6,7-methylenedioxoquinolin-4-one (MMEQ) is a novel synthesized compound, and this study investigated the effects of MMEQ on molecular signal pathways of the induction of apoptosis in TSGH8301 human bladder cancer cells. The studies included examining the effects of morphological changes by contrast-phase microscope, the percentage of viable cells, cell cycle distribution mitochondria membrane potential (ΔΨ m ), ROS and caspase activities were examined by flow cytometry, apoptotic … Show more
