  2. Apoptosis Caspase PARP Akt PTEN MDM-2/p53 JNK
  3. Polyporenic acid C

Polyporenic acid C is a lanostane-type triterpenoid. Polyporenic acid C can be isolated from Poria cocos. Polyporenic acid C causes the cleavage of caspase-8 and caspase-3, as well as the cleavage of PARP. Polyporenic acid C reduces the phosphorylation level of Akt (Ser473), increases the phosphorylation of PTEN and p53 (Ser15), and activates JNK. Polyporenic acid C induces Apoptosis. Polyporenic acid C shows anticancer activity against non-small cell lung cancer.

In Vitro

Polyporenic acid C (0-200 μM; 24-72 h) inhibits the proliferation of human non-small cell lung cancer A549 cells in a dose- and time-dependent manner[1].
Polyporenic acid C (60-100 μM; 24-48 h) increases the apoptosis rate of human non-small cell lung cancer A549 cells in a dose- and time-dependent manner[1].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

Cell Viability Assay[1]

Cell Line: Human non-small cell lung cancer A549 cells
Concentration: 2 μM, 6 μM, 20 μM, 60 μM, 200 μM
Incubation Time: 24 h, 48 h, 72 h
Result: Significantly inhibited cell viability (84% of the control group remained viable) (72 h, 6 μM).
Reduced the relative cell viability by more than 50% (72 h, 60 μM).
Inhibited cancer cell growth by more than 90% (72 h, 200 μM).

Western Blot Analysis[1]

Cell Line: Human non-small cell lung cancer A549 cells
Concentration: 60 μM
Incubation Time: 24 h (for caspase, Akt, PTEN, p53 detection); 3 h, 6 h, 24 h (for JNK detection)
Result: Led to the cleavage of caspase-8 and caspase-3, and the cleavage of PARP (a substrate of caspase-3), but did not induce the cleavage of caspase-9.
Reduced the phosphorylation level of Akt (Ser473), increased the phosphorylation of PTEN and p53 (Ser15), and activated JNK.

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
