Tricholoma matsutake Aqueous Extract Induces Hepatocellular Carcinoma Cell Apoptosis via Caspase-Dependent Mitochondrial Pathway

Figure 1

TM dose- and time-dependently reduced cell viability after 24 h and 48 h treatment in HepG2 (a) and SMMC-7721 (b) cells. Data are expressed as a percentage of that from corresponding control cells and means ± SD (). , , and versus control cells. (c) TM inhibited the migration ability of hepatocellular carcinoma cells determined via a wound healing assay (10x; scale bar: 100 μm) (). (d) TM suppressed hepatocellular carcinoma cell proliferation analyzed via crystal violet staining ().
