Abstract

To investigate the anti-proliferative mechanism of mangiferin in a human nasopharyngeal carcinoma cell line, CNE2 cells were incubated with different concentrations of mangiferin (12.5, 25, 50, 100, 150 and 200 μM) or with PBS as a control for 72 hours. Analyses were made of the cell cycle and apoptosis with measurement of mRNA and protein levels of two apoptosis-related genes, Bcl-2 and Bax. Flow cytometry assays showed mangiferin could inhibit CNE2 cell proliferation via G2/M arrest and induction of early apoptosis. Real time PCR and Western blotting showed the mRNA and protein level of Bcl-2 to be down-regulated, while those of Bax were up-regulated, when CNE2 cells were treated with mangiferin. This investigation indicated anti-proliferation effects of mangiferin through induction of cell apoptosis regulated by Bcl-2 and Bax expression.

  • MGF induces apoptosis in nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells by modulating the mitochondrial pathway, decreasing antiapoptotic Bcl-2 and increasing proapoptotic Bax expression.

    “MGF induces apoptosis in nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells by modulating the mitochondrial pathway, decreasing antiapoptotic Bcl-2 and increasing proapoptotic Bax expression (61).”

    From Mangiferin in human disease: Multifaceted mechanisms and applications (Review) (2026) · cites this paper as [61]

    The Abstract and Discussion report apoptosis in mangiferin-treated CNE2 nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells, with decreased Bcl-2 and increased Bax expression. The Discussion links Bcl-2-family proteins to the mitochondrial pathway, but presents their involvement in these cells as a suggestion; it does not establish that mangiferin modulates that pathway. (LLM, conf=0.84)

  • Through regulation of Bcl-2 and Bax expression, mangiferin potently inhibits tumor cell proliferation and induces apoptosis in nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells.

    “Pan et al (60) demonstrated that through regulation of Bcl-2, apoptosis regulator (Bcl-2) and Bcl-2 associated X, apoptosis regulator (Bax) expression, mangiferin potently inhibits tumor cell proliferation and induces apoptosis in nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells.”

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.
