The present study is the first investigation of the inhibitory effect of Rhaponticum carthamoides transformed roots (TR) extract on the proliferation of grade II and III human glioma cells. TR extract showed the cytotoxic effect and inhibited the colony formation of both glioma cell lines in dose-dependent manner. The root extract induced apoptosis by increasing of the reactive oxygen species (about threefold compared to the control cells) leading to a disruption of mitochondrial membrane potential. Additionally, the mRNA levels of the apoptotic factors such as Bax, Tp53, caspase-3, and caspase-9 were observed to increase. These results indicate that the TR extract possesses anticancer activity by inhibiting glioma cell proliferation and inducing apoptotic cell death, and may be used as a promising anticancer agent.
