Objective To explore the effect of Zinc on the viability of HepG2 cells cultured in virto and its mechanism to provide the experiment ground for treating liver cancer. Method The cell vigor was determined by MTT assay, and the Western blot was performed to evaluate the effects of high concentrations on expression of Bax, Bcl - 2. The cell cycle and apoptotic changes were studied by the flow cytometry. Results The results showed that Zinc of high concentration restrained the viability of HepG2 cells. Zinc(250μmol/L) could inhibit the prolifer...
