Anethum graveolens (Dill)—A Medicinal Herb Induces Apoptosis and Cell Cycle Arrest in HepG2 Cell Line
Abstract
Ethnopharmacological relevance The medicinal herb, Anethum graveolens L. (dill) is one of the potent culinary herbs used as an alternative form of medicine worldwide. The unguent topical Oil from the aerial parts of A. graveolens was found to be effective in the management of uterus cancer in ethnomedicine has been reported. Background The incidence and mortality rates of Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) are steadily rising worldwide, especially, in underdeveloped and developing countries. Moreover, HCC develops rapidly in patients with chronic cirrhosis or hepatitis, where the solid tumours/malignancies coexist with the inflammation. Recent studies have shown that the medicinal herb, Anethum graveolens, holds anticancer potential, which could be a promising approach for the treatment of various tumours. Aim In the current study, we have analysed the antiproliferative effect of ethyl acetate fraction of Dill Seeds (EAFD) on HepG2 cell line. Methods Cell viability and proliferation were observed by MTT assay; Morphological changes were studied using fluorescent stains like Hoechst 33342, acridine orange/ethidium bromide and JC-1 dye. Further, the pro-apoptotic activity was demonstrated through Annexin-V-FITC/ PI assay and cell cycle analysis. Different concentrations (0.1, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8 mg/ml) of EAFD were studied. Results EAFD markedly suppressed the proliferation of HepG2 cells in a dose and time-dependent manner. The phase contrast and fluorescence microscopy revealed th…

“Mohammed et al. calculated an IC50 of 0.393 mg/mL for HepG2 cells in the case of ethyl acetate extract fraction of dill [47], while Al-Oqail et al. reported three different values of IC50 for specific cell lines, given by A. graveolens methanolic extract: IC50 of 104 μg/mL for MCF-7, 122 μg/mL for A-549, and 156 μg/mL for HeLa cells [20].”

In the citing paper
“As an example, an ethyl acetate extract fraction of A. graveolens seeds was revealed to alter the mitochondrial membrane potential in HepG2 cells, in addition to producing changes in ROS concentration and the simultaneous activation of caspases 9 and 3/7, thus confirming that its biological activity involves the intrinsic mitochondrial apoptotic pathway [47].”

In the citing paper
“For example, a methanolic dill extract was reported to exert dose-dependent cytotoxic effects in MCF-7, A549 and HeLa cells [20]; similarly, Mohammed et al. revealed that an ethyl acetate extract fraction of dill seeds was able to inhibit HepG2 cell proliferation [47].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
