Özet
Background: Different cellular responses influence the progress of cancer. In this study, the effects of hydrogen peroxide and quercetin-induced changes on cell viability, apoptosis, and oxidative stress in human hepatocellular carcinoma (HepG2) cells were investigated.
Methods: The effects of hydrogen peroxide and quercetin on cell viability, cell cycle phases, and oxidative stress-related cellular changes were investigated. Cell viability was assessed by WST-1 assay. Apoptosis rate, cell cycle phase changes, and oxidative stress were measured by flow cytometry. Protein expressions of p21, p27, p53, NF-Kβ-p50, and proteasome activity were determined by Western blot and fluorometry, respectively.
Results: Hydrogen peroxide and quercetin treatment resulted in decreased cell viability and increased apoptosis in HepG2 cells. Proteasome activity was increased by hydrogen peroxide but decreased by quercetin treatment.
Conclusion: Both agents resulted in decreased p53 protein expression and increased cell death by different mechanisms regarding proteostasis and cell cycle phases.
