Ginseng polysaccharide has anticancer activity. However, the structure-activity relationship and the activity mechanism are still unclear. Therefore, it is necessary to study the anticancer activity of structurally different ginseng polysaccharide fractions and their potential mechanisms. Ginseng polysaccharide fractions and their temperature-modified products were assayed for their effects on HT-29 cell proliferation by MTT assay, on cell cycle progression by flow cytometry, and on caspase-3 activation by western blot analysis. The HG-rich ginseng pectin inhibited cell proliferation and induced cell cycle arrest in the G2/M phase. The temperature-modified HG-rich pectin had dramatically increased antiproliferative effect and induced apoptosis accompanied by the activation of caspase-3. Starch-like glucan and arabinogalactan of ginseng exhibited no antiproliferative effects. Even after temperature modification, their inhibitory effects either remained unchanged or increased slightly. The HG-rich pectin exerts its antiproliferative effect via cell cycle arrest and the temperature modification markedly increased the antiproliferative effect.

D005434 Flow Cytometry Technique using an instrument system for making, processing, and displaying one or more measurements on individual cells obtained from a cell suspension. Cells are usually stained with one or more fluorescent dyes specific to cell components of interest, e.g., DNA, and fluorescence of each cell is measured as it rapidly transverses the excitation beam (laser or mercury arc lamp). Fluorescence provides a quantitative measure of various biochemical and biophysical properties of the cell, as well as a basis for cell sorting. Other measurable optical parameters include light absorption and light scattering, the latter being applicable to the measurement of cell size, shape, density, granularity, and stain uptake.
