title: Effect of Allium sativum (garlic) diallyl disulfide (DADS) on human non-small cell lung carcinoma H1299 cells.
abstract: This study was undertaken to elucidate the effect of diallyl disulfide from Allium sativum, an oil-soluble organosulfur compound found in garlic, in suppressing human non-small cell lung carcinoma H1299 cells. A potent increase in apoptotic cells has accompanied 1) a decrease in cell viability, 2) an increase of the fraction of G2/M-phase cells by up to 48.80 %, and 3) a transient increase of the phospho-p42/44 (phosphorylated p42/44 MAPK) in a time- and concentration-dependent manner. These results indicated that diallyl disulfide could induce apoptosis in human non-small cell lung carcinoma H1299 cells via, at least partly, G2/M-phase block of the cell cycle, related to a rise in MAPK phosphorylation.
