Sasa veitchii extract induces anticancer effects via inhibition of cyclin D1 expression in MCF-7 cells.

value of SCC was 715 μg/mL), and late apoptosis or necrosis was induced in an SE dose-dependent manner. The expression levels of cyclin D1 and Cdk6 were decreased after SE treatment, and there was no change in the Cdk1/2 expression levels. Additionally, the expression of the necrosis-related cell death indicators RIP1 and RIP3 was increased in response to high-dose SE treatments, and this was indicative of cells preparing for programmed cell death. SE induces cell death in MCF-7 cells via the inhibition of cyclin D1 expression at low concentrations, and this extract induces programmed necrosis (necroptosis) by potentiating RIP1/RIP3 expression.
