Abstract:

Objective To investigate the effect of citral on the acute early young granulocyte leukemia cell line K562. Methods The apoptosis morphology was observed. Diffusion test, DNA electrophoresis, membrane proteins V-FITC/PI staining and Caspase activation in K562 cells were performed to evaluate the effect of citral on the role of K562. Results Citral induced the apoptosis of K562 cells in a time and dose dependent manner. Citral also induced the decreasing of mitochondrial membrane potential(MMP). Conclusion Citral has a potential effect in leukemia treatment and clinical application.

Key words: citral, K562, Mitochondrial membrane potential, Potential, RT-PCR
