Objective To investigate the arrest effect of diallyl disulfide (DADS) in the proliferation and retinoic acid-related orphan receptor-alpha (ROR alpha) expression of human glioma cell line U251. Methods MTT assay,cell average doubling time analysis were employed to confirm the DADS-induced cell growth inhibition in cell line U251; Western Blot was used to observed expression of ROR alpha protein in U251 cells by 30mg/L DADS. Results Apparently growth inhibition in U251 cell line treated with DADS could be seen and exhibited a dose-dependent...
