title: [Study of inhibitory effect of extracts from Actinidia arguta on human carcinoma of esophagus cells].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To study the inhibitory effect of extracts from Actinidia arguta by n-butyl alcohol on human carcinoma of esophagus cells (Eca-109) and Its mechanism.
  
  
  METHODS
  MTT colonmetric assay was used to examine the growth inhibitory of concentration-effect (1 microg/ml, 10 microg/ml,100 microg/ml) and time-effect (24 h, 48 h, 72 h) of extracts from Actinidia arguta by n-butyl alcohol on Eca-109 cells. TUNEL test were performed to observe the apoptosis induced by the extracts (1 microg/ml, 10 microg/ml, 100 microg/ml) on Eca-109 cells.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The inhibitory effect of the extracts on Eca-109 cells increased in a dose-time Manner and the highest rate of inhibition was 87.2%. The extracts could significantly induce apoptosis of Eca-109 cells, but in control group, apoptosis wasn't observed.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The extracts from Actinidia arguta by n-butyl alcohol have good inhibitory effect on Eca-109 cells.
