Objective:To study the antitumor activity and mechanism of Saposhnikovia divaricata polysaccharide SP-3.Methods:The effects of SP-3 on cancer cell proliferation,cell cycle,and apoptosis were detected using the MTT assay and flow cytometry.The antitumor activity mechanism of SP-3 was studied using the Caenorhabditis elegans model.Results:SP-3 significantly inhibited the proliferation of gastric cancer AGS cells and hepatoma HepG2 cells,promoted apoptosis in gastric cancer AGS cells,and affected their cell cycle in a dose-dependent manner.Additionally,SP-3 exhibited a notable inhibitory effect on the multivulva phenotype in Ras gene mutant C.elegans.Conclusion:SP-3 has a potent antitumor effect,and its mechanism may be related to the Ras/mitogen-activated protein kinase(MAPK)pathway.
