Abstract
Dihydroartemisinin (DHA) exhibits anticancer activity in a number of human cancer cells. However, it is still unknown whether DHA has anticancer effect on nasopharyngeal cancer (NPC) cells. To investigate the anticancer activity of DHA on CNE-2 cells. Cell cycleand invasion assay were used to detect the effect of DHA on CNE-2 cells. Protein molecular differences were examined by Western blot. DHA strongly inhibited cell proliferation by induced cell cycle G1 arrest and apoptosis in CNE-2 cells. In addition, cell motility, invasion, and colony formation were suppressed by DHA. DHA shows significant anticancer effects on human NPC cells, and may be a preventive and therapeutic agent against NPC.
