Abstract

 ABSTRACT Azadirachta indica A. Juss is a medicinal plant commonly known as neem. The effect of neem leaves extract on cervical cancer cells, however, has never been studied. Due to the lack of information, this study was conducted to determine the effect of neem leaves extract on cervical cancer (HeLa) cell growth. In vitro cytotoxicity effect of ethanolic neem extract indicated the presence of cytotoxicity activity of the extract against HeLa cells with IC50 of  30.0 μg/mL. The morphological changes under confocal laser scanning microscope (CLSM) on HeLa cells were cell shrinkage and membrane blebbing. There were also cells with condensed nucleus and few cells have fragmented nucleus, and finally formed apoptotic body. Control cells showed a clear cytoplasm and centrally placed nucleus and no cells exhibited any apoptotic features. Appearance of apoptotic cells under scanning electron microscope (SEM) are indentations, blebs and hole on cell surface and disintegration of cell. The controls remained morphologically normal. Apoptotic features of the cells are widely seen with longer incubation time while 24 hours incubation time, it is scarcely seen. The RT-PCR product showed that the c-erb gene expression was expressed in both treated and untreated HeLa cells. Contrary, the the c-myc and c-fos oncogenes on  HeLa cells which exposed to A. indica  EtOH extract were significantly decreased.  Thus, the results from this study strongly suggest that the ethanolic extract of A. indica may contain bioactive compound(s) that caused cervical cancer cells, HeLa cell death by apoptosis mechanism and lead to succession of discovering new alternative treatment for cervical cancer.  Keywords : cytotoxic, apoptosis genes, oncogenes, neem

Abstract

Previous study has been shown the potential anticarcinogenic effect of Strobilanthes crispus, a plant native to countries from Madagascar to Indonesia, on human liver cancer (HepG-2) cell lines. The objective of the present study was to investigate the mechanism of anticarcinogenic effectof S.crispus extract through apoptotic pathway. Exposure of HepG-2 cells to S.crispus extract resulted in induction of apoptosis in a dose-dependent manner as measured by Fluoresence Microscopy and Confocal Laser Scanning Microscopy analysis. These findings provide important new insight into the possible molecular mechanisms of the anticancer activity of S.crispus.
