ABSTRACT
Background: cell lines derived from cancer cells are frequently used in research, including use as a model to understand cancer and to identify potential new treatments. The aim of this article has been prepared to evaluate the anticancer effect of Rumex Acetosella that has been studied for their anticancer activity on esophagus and breast cancer cell line. Method: AMJ13 (new breast cancer cell line (AMJ13) has been established from an Iraqi breast cancer patient and SK-GT-4 cells (Human esophageal adenocarcinoma cell line) were treated with whole methanolic extract of the leaves of Rumex acetosella. the MTT assay to determine the anticancer activity was done using 96-well plates where cell lines were seeded at 1 × 104cells/well after 24 hrs.the cells were treated with tested compounds at different concentrations. Cell viability was measured after 72 hrs of treatment by removing the medium, adding 28 µL of 2 mg/mL solution of MTT, and incubating the cells for 2.5 h at 37 °C. After removing the MTT solution, the crystals remaining in the wells were solubilized by the addition of 130 µL of DMSO (Dimethyl Sulphoxide) followed by 37 °C incubation for 15 min with shaking. The absorbency was determined on a microplate reader at 492 nm. Conclusion: Plant extract from Rumex Acetosella showed particularly strong anticancer capabilities since it inhibited actual tumor progression in a breast adenocarcinoma mouse model. Our results suggest that whole plant extracts are promising anticancer reagents.
