Figure 6.

Proposed schematic representation of the mechanism underlying the proapoptotic effect of SCE. SCE induces ROS-dependent expression of proapoptotic proteins, including p53, p21 and Bax. These proteins induce the apoptosis of HCT116 cells through activating the intrinsic mitochondrial pathway. SCE, Sorbus commixta water extract; ROS, reactive oxygen species; Bcl-2, B-cell lymphoma-2; Bax, Bcl-2-associated X protein; NAC, N-acetyl cysteine; Mdm2, mouse double minute 2 homology; PARP, poly ADP-ribose polymerase.
