Apoptosis was first put forward in 1972 by Kerr.4,13 It is
an ordered and orchestrated cellular process that occurs in
physiological and pathological conditions.14 The balance
between apoptosis and cell growth is the most basic process,
because it influences growth, development, homeostasis
and immune system.15
In this study, we detected the influence of HSYA on
proliferation and apoptosis in abnormal HUVECs. The result
of MTT assay proved that HSYA could inhibit the proliferation
of abnormal HUVECs. A range concentration of HSYA
could promote apoptosis. It reminds us that HSYA may
inhibit tumor by inducing apoptosis and inhibiting tumor
angiogenesis.
