Wogonoside promotes apoptosis in gastric cancer AGS and SGC-7901 cells through induction of mitochondrial dysfunction and endoplasmic reticulum stress.

Wogonoside (Wg), a natural flavonoid, has anticancer effects against several human cancers. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the antitumor effects and underlying mechanisms of Wg on gastric cancer (GC) cell lines. We report that Wg treatment inhibited cell viability and induced apoptosis in human GC cell lines AGS and SGC-7901, and also retarded GC tumor growth in xenograft mice in vivo.
