Schizandrae chinensis, a traditional Chinese medicine herb, has been used to treat hepatitis B disease in Chinese hospital clinic. We have isolated two bioactive compounds, deoxyschizandrin and gamma-schizandrin, from S. chinensis. In the present, we reported that deoxyschizandrin and gamma-schizandrin could induce apoptosis in human promyelocytic leukemia cells (HL-60), as characterized by DNA fragmentation and poly (ADP) ribose polymerase (PARP) cleavage. Further molecular analysis showed that deoxyschizandrin and gamma-schizandrin caused the loss of mitochondrial membrane potential (Delta Psi m), cytochrome c release from mitochondrion to cytosol, truncation of Bid protein, and activation of caspase-3 and -9. However, they did not increase the intracellular level of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Antioxidants such as N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) and catalase did not block the apoptosis induced by deoxyschizandrin or,gamma-schizandrin. These findings suggest that deoxyschizandrin and gamma-schizandrin-induced apoptosis in HL-60 cells involved ROS-independent mitochondrial dysfunction pathway. (C) 2007 Elsevier Ltd.
