Piplartine (5, 10, and 15 μM) significantly decreases cell proliferation of 786-O, SKBR3, Panc1, A549, and L3.6pL cancer cells after treatment for 24 and 48 hours, induces apoptosis and ROS in these cell lines at 5 and 10 μM after 3 or 9 h of treatment.
Piplartine (5 or 10 μM) induces cleaved PARP and downregulates Sp1, Sp3, Sp4, and Sp-regulated genes.
Piplartine (20 μM) decreases the viability of cardiac fibroblasts (CFs). Piplartine (0-10 μM) suppresses myofibroblast transformation via suppression of the ERK1/2 signaling pathway.
