Therefore, the present study studied the cytotoxicity effects of tyrosol (TRY) on the Michigan Cancer Foundation-7 (MCF7) breast cancer cell line and L929 normal cells. Methods: MCF7 and L929 cells were cultured red in DMEM-F12 culture medium after preparation and then exposed to 0, 100, 200, and 300 μM of TRY for 72 hours. Cell viability was evaluated using the MTT (3-[4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl]-2,5 diphenyl tetrazolium bromide) assay, and apoptotic and necrotic cell percentages were determined by flow cytometry. After designing specific primers, the expression levels of bax, p53, and bcl-2 genes were evaluated by RT-PCR. GraphPad Prism software was used for analyzing the data. Results: TRY-treated MCF7 cells showed significantly decreased cell viability in a dose-depended manner. Also, the cell treated with high concentrations of TRY (200 and 300 µM) had a high rate of apoptosis and necrosis (P<0.0001). Reactive oxygen species (ROS) content increased in TRY-treated MCF7 cells. Moreover, the overexpression of bax and p53 and downregulation of bcl-2 was seen in TRY-treated MCF7 cells. Conclusion: TRY has anticancer effects on breast cancer cells by the induction of oxidative stress and apoptosis, as well as the regulation of genes involved in the process of mitochondrial apoptosis.</td> </tr> </tbody> </table> </div> Breast cancer, Gene, miRNA, Doxorubicin 0 0 http://humangeneticsgenomics.ir/browse.php?a_code=A-10-369-1&slc_lang=en&sid=1 Rana khosravi Rana.khosravi9126@gmail.com 1003194753284600746 1003194753284600746 No Department of microbiology, Kherad Institute of Higher Education, Bushehr, Iran.
