[Experimental study on decoctum Agrimonia pilosa Ledeb-induced apoptosis in HL-60 cells in vitro].

In this study, MTT assay, cell morphology and flow cytometry were used to explore Agrimonia pilosa Ledeb on HL-60 cells in vitro. The data suggested that Agrimonia pilosa Ledeb had the effects of growth inhibition in HL-60 cells. After treated with decoctum Agrimonia pilosa Ledeb, cells underwent apoptosis with typical morphological feature. DNA histograms by flow cytometric analysis displayed distinct apoptotic peak.
