Abstract

Abstract: Linum persicum contains significant amount of lignans as podophyllotoxin that may show therapeutic effects against several types of metastatic cancers such as breast cancer. The aim of this study was to establish the cell culture of L. persicum for lignans production and evaluation for anti-carcinogenic activity on MCF7 cell line. Also, lignan contents of the cell, callus, and plantlets and also in different parts including; capsule, leave, stem and root of the wild plants were determined using HPLC technique. The highest podophyllotoxin in capsules and pinoresinol in leaf and root organs were observed. Shoot extract of the in-vitro plantlets have greater cytotoxic effect on breast cancer cells (IC50 = 5 µg/ml) and leads to significant raise in ratio of Bax/Bcl-2 value = 1.42 and Rbl1 gene expression that are well-known as apoptotic inducing agents. In conclusion, due to cytotoxic activity of in vitro plantlet extracts on MCF7 cell line with limited side-effects; the corresponding extracted component could be led to therapeutic approaches in future.
