Cytotoxic effects of aloe-emodin isolated from cassia alata against human promyelocytic leukemia HL-60 cells

Aloe-emodin is a biologically active anthraquinone that isolated from the flowers of Cassia a/ata belonging to the Caesalpiniae subfamily. This plant traditionally used to treat ringworms throughout the world and found wildly in tropical countries. The purpose of this study was to examine the in...

520 |a Aloe-emodin is a biologically active anthraquinone that isolated from the flowers of Cassia a/ata belonging to the Caesalpiniae subfamily. This plant traditionally used to treat ringworms throughout the world and found wildly in tropical countries. The purpose of this study was to examine the in vitro cytotoxicity and genotoxicity effect of aloe-emodin on human promyelocytic leukemia cells (HL-60). For cytotoxicity assessment, there were several experiments done such as MTT assay, double staining AO/PI, DNA fragmentation, proliferation and annexin-V FITC. Meanwhile for genetoxicity assessment, alkaline comet assay was done by analysed each single cells after treated with aloe-emodin. For early screening purpose, MTT assay was used to determine the cytotoxic dose of several compounds on cancerous cell lines and normal cell line. Among the cancer cells lines, aloe-emodin showed strong killing effects against HL-60 cells. In contrast, aloe-emodin did have a mild cytotoxic effect towards mouse fibroblast NIH/3T3 cells. Thus, the HL-60 cells only were used to determine the mode of cell death after treated with aloe-emodin. The mode of cell death was mainly apoptosis assessed by acridine orange/propidium iodide (AO/PI) double staining method and Annexin VFITC/ PI assays. Apoptotic cells characteristics such as the presence of bleb bing cells and forming of apoptotic bodies were observed after HL-60 cells treated with aloe-emodin
