What are the Mechanism of action of rhein powder?
![]() |
Rhein powder increases intracellular levels of nitric oxide, ROS, and Ca2+, stimulates apoptosis, and inhibits cell proliferation and angiogenesis both in vitro and in vivo . Bim, a pro-apoptotic Bcl-2-family protein, is a critical mediator of rhein-induced apoptosis. Rhein activated forkhead box O3a (FOXO3a), an inducer of Bim expression, in MCF-7 and HepG2 cells, which in turn enhanced the Bim protein levels . Elevated levels of ROS modulated apoptosis by affecting the mitochondrial membrane permeability (MMPE) and causing subsequent loss of membrane potential (ΔΨm) . Some other studies have shown the role of MMPE in apoptosis induction, triggering the release of Cyt c . Therefore, studies have demonstrated the apoptotic effect of rhein via modulation of ROS, MMPE, and caspases-3, -8, and -9, in SCC-4, A549 and HL-60 cancer cells |
