- W2988006976 abstract "Cervical cancer remains the most gruesome health problem in women worldwide as it ranks third in incidence. Despite recent developments in the treatment options of cervical cancer, the survival of patients not fit for surgical treatment rather remains poor. The main purpose of the current research was to determine the anticancer effect of farnesol in HeLa human cervical cancer cells together with studying its impact on apoptosis induction, mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) and PI3K/Akt signalling cascade.Cell viability was estimated by MTT assay while clonogenic assay was used to assess the effects on colony formation tendency in these cells. Fluorescence microscopy indicated apoptosis induction while flow cytometry showed the farnesol effects on the loss of MMP.Farnesol exerted both dose and time-dependent antiproliferative effects on cervical cancer cells with IC50 values of 33.5, 23.8 and 17.6 μM at 24, 48 and 72 hrs time intervals, respectively. Colony formation of HeLa cells was considerably affected in a dose-dependent manner with the addition of farnesol to the cell culture. Farnesol-treated cells mostly emitted orange fluorescence indicating apoptotic cell death and this effect increased with increasing dose of the compound. Furthermore, farnesol induced considerable reduction in the number of cells with depolarized mitochondria corresponding to a reduction of MMP. With increase in the dosage of farnesol, there was a noticeable decrease in the expression levels of PI3K, p-PI3K and p-Akt proteins.In brief, this study showed that farnesol -a naturally occurring sesquiterpene- exerts powerful antiproliferative activity via apoptosis induction, loss of MMP and downregulation of the expression levels of PI3K, p-PI3K and p-Akt proteins." @default.
