Gelam and Nenas Honeys Inhibit Proliferation of HT 29 Colon
Cancer Cells by Inducing DNA Damage and Apoptosis while Suppressing
Inflammation
Asian Pac J Cancer Prev, 2012;13(4):1605-10
Gelam and Nenas monofloral honeys were investigated in this
study for their chemopreventive effects against HT 29 colon cancer cells.
MTS
(3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-5-(3-carboxymethoxyphenyl)-2-(4-sulfophenyl)-2H-
tetrazolim) assays showed more effective inhibition of colon cancer cells
proliferation by Gelam honey with IC50 values of 39.0 mg/ml and 85.5 mg/ml
respectively after 24 hours of treatment. Alkali comet assays revealed both
honeys increased DNA damage significantly in a dose dependent manner. In
addition, annexin V-FITC/PI flow cytometry demonstrated that at IC50
concentrations and above, both Gelam and Nenas honeys induced apoptosis
significantlyat values higher than for necrosis (p<0.05).
Measurement of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) confirmed that Gelam
and Nenas honeys reduced its production in H2O2 inflammation-induced colon
cancer cells.
In conclusion, our study indicated and confirmed that both
Gelam and Nenas honeys are capable of suppressing the growth of HT 29 colon
cancer cells by inducing apoptosis and suppressing inflammation.
