Bufalin has been shown to be effective against a variety of cancer cells, but its role in lung never studied an animal model. In this study, we evaluated bufalin effects human cell line NCI-H460 both vitro and vivo. caused significant cytotoxicity cells at concentration as low 1 μM. DNA condensation was observed bufalin-treated dose-dependent manner. Mitochondrial membrane potential (ΔΨm ) reduced reactive oxygen species (ROS) were increased cells. Levels several proapoptotic proteins such...
