Dihydroartemisinin induces apoptosis in human bladder cancer cell lines through reactive oxygen species, mitochondrial membrane potential, and cytochrome C pathway

Dihydroartemisinin induces apoptosis in human bladder cancer cell lines through reactive oxygen species, mitochondrial membrane potential, and cytochrome C pathway

Background: Dihydroartemisinin (DHA) is a semisynthetic derivative of artemisinin and has antiproliferative effect. However, such effects of DHA have not yet been revealed for bladder cancer cells. Methods: We used as bladder cancer cell lines to examine the effect of DHA on the cell viability, cell...
