Title: In Vitro Anticancer Effect of Yellow Tea in HT-29 Human Colon Cancer Cells
Abstract: One Yellow Tea product and one Green Tea product were purchased for the evaluation of in vitro anticancer effect on HT-29 human colon cancer cells.In MTT assay,apoptosis analysis by DAPI staining and RT-PCR were employed to check their anticancer effect.At the concentration of 400 μg/mL,Yellow Tea(80%) exhibited the highest inhibitory effects on the growth of HT-29 colon cancer cells.DAPI staining showed that Yellow Tea induced apoptosis accompanied by increased Bax and decreased Bcl-2 in mRNA expression.These results suggest that Yellow Tea has better chemo preventive effect than Green Tea.
