Abstract

Objectives: Phenolic compounds exhibit several health protective properties. Galangin, curcumin, pycnogenol, puerarin and ursolic acid are commonly used plant phenolics in folk medicine. The aim of our study was to evaluate the difference between neutral red uptake (NRU) and MTT assays using different plant phenolics (galangin, curcumin, pycnogenol, puerarin and ursolic acid) in healthy and cancer cells in different time periods. Materials and Methods: In this study, the cytotoxic effects of these phenolic compounds were investigated by NRU and MTT assays in healthy (V79, Chinese hamster fibroblast cell line) and cancer [human cervix epithelial adenocarcinoma cell line Henrietta Lacks (HeLa) and human mammary carcinoma cell line (BT-474)] in 18, 24 and 48 h incubation periods. Results: Our results demonstrated that galangin, curcumin, pycnogenol, puerarin and ursolic acid decreased cell viability of V79, HeLa and BT-474 cells in a dose-dependent manner in 18, 24 and 48 h incubation periods. However, the cell survival rate was much lower in 48 h incubation period. There was no difference between the results from NRU and MTT assays. Conclusion: To decide which incubation period and which cytotoxicity study to be used, the cytotoxicity mechanism of the compound must be known.

Özet

Amaç: Fenolik bileşikler sağlığı koruyucu farklı özellikler gösterir. Galangin, kurkumin, piknogenol, puerarin ve ursolik asit halk tıbbında yaygın olarak kullanılan bitkisel fenoliklerdendir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, nötral kırmızı alım (NKA) ve MTT yöntemleri arasındaki farkı sağlıklı hücreler ve kanser hücrelerinde farklı bitkisel fenoliklerin (galangin, kurkumin, piknogenol, puerarin ve ursolik asit) farklı zaman aralıklarında farklı zaman aralıklarında belirlemektir. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Bu çalışmada, bu fenolik bileşiklerin sitotoksik etkileri sağlıklı hücreler (Çin hamster fibroblast hücre hattı, V79) ve kanser [insan serviks epitelyal adenokarsinoma hücre hattı, Henrietta Lacks (HeLa) ve insan meme karsinoma hücre hattı (BT-474)] hücrelerinde 18, 24 ve 48 saatlik inkübasyon sürelerinde NKA ve MTT yöntemleriyle değerlendirilmiştir. Bulgular: Bulgularımız galangin, kurkumin, piknogenol, puerarin ve ursolik asitin V79, HeLa ve BT-474 hücre canlılıklarını 18, 24 ve 48 saatlik inkübasyon sürelerinde doza bağımlı olarak azalttığını göstermiştir. Ancak en az hücre canlılık oranı 48 saatlik inkübasyon sonrası görülmüştür. NKA ile MTT yöntemlerinin sonuçları arasında fark görülmemiştir. Sonuç: Sitotoksisite analizinde kullanılacak yöntem ve inkübasyon süresinin belirlenmesi için maddelerin sitotoksisite mekanizması bilinmelidir.
