1 Ursolic acid promotes apoptosis of SGC-7901 gastric cancer cells through ROCK/PTEN mediated mitochondrial translocation of cofilin-1. ursolic acid cofilin 1 Homo sapiens
2 Further mechanistic studies revealed that the ROCK1/PTEN signaling pathway plays a critical role in UA-mediated mitochondrial translocation of cofilin-1 and apoptosis. ursolic acid cofilin 1 Homo sapiens
3 These findings imply that induction of apoptosis by ursolic acid stems primarily from the activation of ROCK1 and PTEN, resulting in the translocation of cofilin-1 from cytoplasm to mitochondria, release of cytochrome c, activation of caspase-3 and caspase-9, and finally inducing apoptosis of gastric cancer SGC-7901 cells. ursolic acid cofilin 1 Homo sapiens
