Cytotoxic Effects of a Triterpene-Enriched Fraction of Cecropia Pachystachya on the Human Hormone-Refractory Prostate Cancer PC3 Cell Line

The analysis of nuclear morphology of PC3 cells treated with triterpene-enriched fraction increased the number of cells with large and regular nuclei suggesting senescence induction, which was supported by β-galactosidase overexpression.

Chelerythrine Suppresses Proliferation and Metastasis of Human Prostate Cancer Cells via Modulating MMP/TIMP/NF-κB System

The addition of chelerythrine significantly inhibited the proliferation of androgen-independent prostate cancer DU145 and PC-3 cells at the concentration of 5 and 10 μM, but not on androgen-dependent prostate cancer LNCaP cells as well as normal prostate epithelial cell line PrEC cells.
