Peptide fractions from Scha inchi induced apoptosis in HepG2 cells via P53 activation and a mitochondria-mediated pathway.

The findings of this study suggest that Sacha inchi peptides have potential pharmacological effects in the treatment of liver cancer. SPs effectively suppress the cell cycle and facilitate cell apoptosis, indicating their anti-hepatoma effect. The novel peptides identified in SPs may have therapeutic value for liver cancer treatment. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
