HRT, Herbal Formula, Induces G2/M Cell Cycle Arrest and Apoptosis via Suppressing Akt Signaling Pathway in Human Colon Cancer Cells

We have demonstrated the anticancer effect of HRT in HCT116, human colon carcinoma cells. HRT inhibited cancer cell growth by causing cell cycle arrest at G2/M and inducing apoptosis as evidenced by DNA fragmentation assay. We found that HRT induces the activation of caspase-3, -8, and -9, whereas i...
