AI Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to investigate how allicin affects the growth of human salivary gland carcinoma cells (MEC-1).
- The method involved measuring cell growth with an MTT assay and analyzing the cell cycle using flow cytometry after treating with varying doses and times of allicin.
- Results indicated that allicin significantly inhibited the proliferation of MEC-1 cells in a concentration- and time-dependent manner, primarily affecting the cell cycle by blocking cells in the M phase.
Article Abstract
Objective: To observe the anticancer mechanism of allicin by observing the inhibitory effect of allicin on human salivary gland carcinoma cell line MEC-1.
Method: Cell proliferation were measured by MTT assay at different doses and different hours. In the meantime, cell cycle was detected via flow cytometry after different dose incubation with different hours.
Result: MTT results showed that the inhibitory rates of MEC-1 proliferations were increased in a concentration-and time-dependent manner. Flow cytometry analysis showed percent-age of MEC-1 cells decreased in G0/G1 phase and increased in G2/M. But there was no evident change in S phase. The cells were mainly blocked in M phase, and the inhibitory effect of the allicin on MEC-1 cells increased with the increasing of concentration and time.
Conclusion: Allicin can inhibit the growth of MEC-1 cells in vitro dramatically.
