Wogonoside promotes apoptosis and ER stress in human gastric cancer cells by regulating the IRE1α pathway.

ABSTRACT: Gastric cancer is a disease that occurs in the digestive system of humans and remains a problem in the medical field. Wogonoside, a natural flavonoid, has been reported to exert antitumor effects on various types of tumors. However, the effects of wogonoside on gastric cancer remain elusive. The aim of the present study was to detect whether wogonoside treatment could induce apoptosis and ER stress in gastric cancer cells. In the present study, CCK-8 assay was used to detect the cell viability, Annexin V/PI staining was used to detect the cells apoptosis, western blot analysis and real-time PCR analysis was used to detect the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress in the AGS and MKN-45 gastric cancer cell lines. Wogonoside treatment reduced the viability of AGS and MKN-45 cells and induced apop
