PMID 26431878
Literature evidence Thus, these results suggest that ASP would be a promising therapeutic agent for breast cancer.
IUPAC name NA
Phytochemicals’ class or type of plant extracts Polysaccharide
Source of phytochemicals or plant Extracts Angelica sinensis
Geographical availability China North-Central, China South-Central, Inner Mongolia
Plant parts Root
Other cancers Breast cancer
Target gene or protein PARP, Bax, Bcl-2, Bcl-xL, Apaf1
Gene or Protein evidence We found that ASP significantly affected the poly-ADP-ribose polymerase (PARP), Bcl-2 Associated X Protein (Bax), Bcl-2, Bcl-xL and apoptotic protease activating facter-1 (Apaf1) protein expression in a dose- and time-dependent manner.
Target pathways CREB signaling pathway
IC50 NA
Potency ASP has profound antitumor effect on T47D cells, probably by inducing apoptosis through CREB signaling pathway. Thus, these results suggest that ASP would be a promising therapeutic agent for breast cancer.
Cell line/ mice model T47D, nude mice xenograft model
Additional information  In this study, we show that angelica sinensis polysaccharide induced apoptosis in breast cancer cells of T47D over-expressing the Cyclic AMP response element binding protein (CREB), inducing apoptosis-related signaling pathway activity.
