Hydroxycinnamic Acids in Wild Blueberry and Effects of Hydroxycinnamic Acids on Apoptosis Induction in Cancer Cell Culture

: In this study, the fruits and leaves of wild blueberries grown naturally in our country will be evaluated by using different infusion and boiling methods. Blueberry teas; leaves, raw fruit, dried and shredded raw fruit, fruit beans and seedless raw fruit of different infusions were used after boiling them for 1 min, 3 min, 5 min, 7 min, 10 min. Phenolic levels were determined by LC MS/MS technique. The antioxidant and activities of all products in the vitro HCT-116 colon cancer cell line were analyzed by spectrophotometric methods. MDA and TEAC were evaluated for antioxidant activity. Cytotoxicity and viability tests were performed by adding WST-8 (Water Soluble Tetrazolium Salt-8) solution. For apoptosis, TRAIL and Apaf-1 ELISA Kit were used for the activation of caspases of intrinsic and extrinsic pathways.
