Abstract

To examine the anticancer effects of S‑allyl‑L‑cysteine (SAC) in human bladder cancer cells and to identify possible molecular mechanisms, bladder cancer cell lines (HTB5, HTB9, JON, UMUC14, T24, and cisplatin resistant‑T24R2) were incubated with SAC, and cell proliferation was measured using the Cell Counting Kit‑8 assay and clonogenic assay. Cell cycle and apoptosis were evaluated by flow cytometry. Expression levels of apoptosis‑ and cell cycle‑associated proteins were analyzed by western blotting. Proliferation and colony formation in bladder cancer cells was significantly inhibited by SAC treatment in a dose‑dependent manner. SAC treatment significantly enhanced apoptosis and promoted a cell cycle arrest in the S phase. SAC also increased the expression of apoptosis‑related genes, including caspases, poly (ADP‑ribose) polymerase and cytochrome c. SAC had an anticancer effect on bladder cancer cells in vitro, at least partially, through the induction of apoptosis and a cell cycle arrest. SAC is a potential therapeutic agent for the treatment of bladder cancer.
