title: [Study on inhibitory effects of Taxus chinensis var. mairei aqueous extract on the proliferation of tumor cells].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To study the inhibitory effects of Taxus chinensis var. mairei Aqueous Extract (TAE) on SGC-7901 and MCF-7 cells, and to explore its mechanisms.
  
  
  METHODS
  The inhibitory effects of TAT and Paclitaxel on the proliferation of SGC-7901 and MCF-7 cells were tested by MTT method. Their effects on the morphology of SGC-7901 and MCF-7 cells were observed by microscope. Its effects on the cell apoptosis were detected by flow cytometry.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The TAE had inhibitory effects on the proliferation of tumor cells, and its mechanisms were correlated to inducing the apoptosis of tumor cells.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  TAE had inhibitory effects on the proliferation of tumor cells.
