Abstract

The present study compared the effect of resveratrol on HCT116 and Caco‑2 human colon cancer cells. Annexin V/propidium iodide staining, MTT assay and western blot analysis revealed that resveratrol induced cycle arrest in the two cell lines, which was evidenced by cell cycle analysis and changes in the expression of the cell cycle proteins cyclin‑dependent kinase (CDK) 2, CDK4, cyclin D1, proliferating cell nuclear antigen and P21. Furthermore, resveratrol was found to have a strong apoptosis‑inducing effect, which was evidenced through the high percentage of annexin V positive cells and high protein expression of cleaved‑caspase‑7, cleaved‑caspase‑9 and cleaved‑poly(ADP‑ribose) polymerase in the resveratrol‑treated cancer cells. In conclusion, these results demonstrated that resveratrol had greater growth inhibitory and cell cycle arrest effects on Caco‑2 cells than HCT116 cells, through caspase‑dependent and cyclin‑CDK pathways.
