glioma U87 MG cells by downregulation of Bcl-2 expression. In the present work, we
investigated the DMC induced reactive oxygen species (ROS) mediated anti-proliferative
and apoptotic effects in U87 MG cells. Exposure of U87 MG cells to growth-suppressive
concentrations of DMC (0–50 μg/ml) resulted in ROS generation and concomitant increase
in apoptosis. The major oxidative species induced by DMC was superoxide anion radical (O …
