The purpose of this study is to elucidate the apoptotic activity of Ganoderma lucidum  polysaccharide (GLP) in a human breast cancer cell line MCF-7 in vitro.  According to DPPH assay, GLP showed a good antioxidant (IC 50  value is 202.4 µg/mL). Based on MTT assay, the results showed that GLP inhibits MCF-7 cells proliferation in a dose- and time- dependent manner (p<0.001). IC 50   values of the cytotoxicity of GLP and doxorubin  were 110.907 µg/mL and 58.206 µg/mL respectively. The results from the flow cytometry indicated that GLP could induce apoptotic activity through inducing the up-regulation of the Bax and Caspase-9 and the down-regulation of the BcL-2 in MCF-7 cells. At 2×IC 50 , GLP increased the early-apoptotic and dead cells of MCF-7 from 18.23% to 34.76% and 8.45% to16.34% respectively. In conclusion, the GLP shows anticancer activity against MCF-7 through preventing the proliferation and inducing the apoptosis of MCF-7 cells. Our data provide the potential molecular targets in cancer prevention and reveal the key barriers in the current anticancer drugs development.

In this study, turmeric's active ingredient (Curcumin) was encapsulated into RGD modified Liposomes (RGD-Lip-Cur) its cytotoxic effect on the breast cancer cell line (MCF-7) was evaluated by MTT, flow cytometry and Caspase assay. Liposomes were characterized using transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Results demonstrated that the liposomes were spherical in shape, ranging from 70 to 100 nm. MTT assay revealed that RGD-Lip-Cur had a significant cytotoxic effect on MCF-7 cells at concentrations of 32, 16 and 4 μg/ml compared to Lip-Cur (P < 0.05) and curcumin (P < 0.01). The apoptosis assay demonstrated that RGD-Lip-Cur induces the apoptosis in MCF-7 cells (39.6% vs 40.2% for initial and secondary apoptosis) significantly more than Lip-Cur (67.7% vs 9.16% for initial and secondary apoptosis) and free curcumin (7.84% vs 38.8% for initial and secondary apoptosis). Moreover, caspase assay showed that RGD-Lip-Cur activates caspase 3/7 compared to Lip-Cur (P < 0.05) and free curcumin (P < 0.01). The RGD-Lip-Cur was similar to the control group and had no significant cytotoxicity effect. It is concluded that RGD-Lip-Cur as a novel carrier have high cytotoxicity effect on breast cancer cell line (MCF-7).
