Inhibitory Effect of Artesunate on Growth and Apoptosis of Gastric Cancer Cells

The high expression of CDC25A protein in gastric adenocarcinoma is involved in the occurrence and development of gastric adenocarcinoma. Artesunate can inhibit the growth of gastric adenocarcinoma cells SGC-7901 and induce the cell apoptosis, the mechanism may be related to the regulation of CDC25A, Bcl-2, Bax, Caspase-3 and mitochondrial membrane potential in SGC-7901 cells.
