How to use
In Vitro:
Flavone is found to reduce cell proliferation in HT-29 cells with an EC50 value of 54.8 ± 1.3 μm and to potently induce differentiation as well as apoptosis. The effects of flavone in HT-29 cells are associated with changed mRNA levels of cell-cycle- and apoptosis-related genes including cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), nuclear transcription factor κB (NF-κB), and bcl-XL. Moreover, flavone displays a high selectivity for the induction of apoptosis and of growth inhibition only in the transformed colonocytes.
In Vivo:
In vivo anti-tumor study indicates that flavone exhibits ability to inhibit tumor formation elicited by s.c. injection of COLO205 cells in nude mice. Apoptotic cells and an increase in p21, but not p53, protein are observed in tumor tissues derived from flavone-treated group. Flavone has been shown to accumulate in intestinal cells suggesting the potential application of flavone in treatment of colorectal carcinoma.
