Abstract

Amaç: Vaccinium myrtillus L. meyvesi Türkiye’de gıda olarak tüketilmektedir. Bu araştırma V. myrtillus metanol ekstresinin antioksidan ve sitotoksisite aktivitelerini ve mide kanser hücresindeki potansiyel etkilerini belirlemeyi amaçlamıştır.
Gereç ve Yöntem: V. myrtillus meyvesi metanol ekstresinin antioksidan aktiviteleri spektrofotometrik olarak ABTS+ ve DPPH• yöntemleriyle gerçekleştirilmiştir. Fitokimyasal analiz HPLC yöntemi ile araştırılmıştır. V. myrtillus metanol ekstresinin mide kanseri hücre hattı AGS üzerindeki sitotoksik etkisi, Cell Titer-Glo testi ile ölçülmüştür. Ek olarak, anti-kanser etkinlik analizi için fibroblast benzeri insan mezenkimal kök hücre hattı sağlıklı kontrol hücreleri olarak kullanılmıştır. Morfolojik değişiklikler, faz kontrast mikroskobu kullanılarak incelenmiştir.
Sonuç ve Tartışma: V. myrtillus meyve metanol ekstresinde ABTS+ ve DPPH• testleri ile sırasıyla 0.1413 ve 0.0439 mg/mL IC50 değerleri hesaplanmıştır. Bir antosiyanin bileşiği olarak malvidin-3-O-glukozit HPLC yardımıyla tespit edilmiştir. Sitotoksite analizi, farklı konsantrasyonlar (0.5-10 mg/ml) arasında 2 mg/ml V. myrtillus meyve metanol ekstresinin, sağlıklı MSC hücrelerini korurken AGS mide kanseri hücrelerinin canlılığını azalttığını göstermiştir. Bu veriler, Yaban mersini özünün çeşitli kanser hücre dizileri üzerinde daha fazla analiz edilmesini ve ekstresindeki potansiyel aktif maddelerin belirlenmesini önermektedir.

ANTIOXIDANT ACTIVITY AND ANTI-CANCER EFFECTS OF BILBERRY (VACCINIUM MYRTILLUS L.) FRUIT EXTRACT ON GASTRIC CANCER, AGS CELL LINE

Abstract

Objective: Vaccinium myrtillus L. fruits are consumed as food. This research was aimed to evaluate V. myrtillus methanol extract antioxidant and cytotoxic activities and determine its anti-cancer potential to further study against gastric cancer.
Material and Method: V. myrtillus fruit (Bilberry) methanol extract was examined for its antioxidant activities by ABTS•+ and DPPH• assays. The phytochemical analysis of the extract was studied by HPLC method. The cytotoxic effect of V. myrtillus fruit methanol extract on gastric cancer cell line AGS was measured by Cell Titer-Glo assay. Additionally, as healthy control, fibroblast like human mesenchymal stem cell line was used for testing anti-cancer efficacy.
Result and Discussion: V. myrtillus fruit methanol extract showed 0.1413 and 0.0439 mg/mL IC50 values as antioxidant activity by ABTS•+ and DPPH• assays, respectively. Malvidin-3-O-Glucoside was detected as an anthocyanin compound by HPLC method. Cytotoxicity analysis showed that among different concentrations (0.5-10 mg/ml), the most significantly, 2 mg/ml of Bilberry extract treatment decreased the viability of AGS gastric cancer cells while sparing healthy MSC cells. This data suggests the further analysis of Bilberry extract on several cancer cell lines as well as the determination of a potential active substance in the extract.
