Abstract: The assay was aimed to study the relationship of ROS and MAPK family protein in pseudolaric acid B (PAB)-induced MCF-7 cell apoptosis. Contrast phase microscope was used to observe cellular morphologic alternation; MTT analysis detected the inhibitory ratio; flow cytometric analysis of DCFH-DA staining determined the level of ROS, and Western blotting detected the protein expression. We found that PAB induced MCF-7 cell apoptosis through increasing ROS and increased the phosphoration of JNK and decrease the phosphoration of ERK.

Key words: pseudolaric acid B; ROS; apoptosis; MAPK; MCF-7 family protein
