ProtocolIn VitroBrassinolide is a plant sterol first isolated from pollen of rape (Brassica napus L.). Brassinolide can induce a time and concentration-dependent cytotoxicity in PC-3 cells. The mode of cell death appears to be predominately apoptosis, as shown by flow-cytometric analysis, fluorescence and transmission electron microscopes. Caspase-3 activity is obviously increased after Brassinolide treatment. Western blot studies indicate that treatment with Brassinolide triggered a time-dependent decrease in the expression of anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-2, which suggests that Brassinolide can induce cytotoxicity in PC-3 cells by triggering apoptosis. Brassinolide might therefore be a promising candidate for the treatment of prostate cancer.
