Abstract: Objective To study the effects of tangeretin inhibiting the proliferation and inducing apoptosis of prolactinoma MMQ cells. Methods After treated with different concentration of tangeretin for 24, 48, 72 h, the proliferation of prolactinoma MMQ cells was determined by MTS. Simultaneously, the apoptosis ratio of MMQ by Annexin V-FITC/PI and the expression of bcl-2 and bax by Western blotting were detected. Results Tangeretin could effectively inhibit the proliferation of MMQ in a dose-dependent and time-dependent manner. At the same time, tangeretin induced apoptosis and down-regulated the level of bcl-2 and up-regulated the level of bax in MMQ cells. Conclusion Tangeretin maybe induced apoptosis and inhibited the proliferation of MMQ through bcl-2/bax signaling pathway.
