Figure Lengend Snippet: Origanum majorana ethanolic extract inhibits cellular viability of colorectal cancer cells. (A) Exponentially growing HT-29 and (B) Caco-2 colon cancer cells were treated with and without of various concentration (0, 150, 300, 450, and 600 μg/mL) OME for 24 and 48 h. Viability was measured using a colorimetric assay as described in section Materials and Methods. Values are represented as mean ± SD of n = 4 (* p < 0.05 and *** p < 0.001). (C) HT-29 cells were exposed to OME for 24 and 48 h and number of viable cells, using a fluorescent dye, was monitored as described in section Materials and Methods using the Muse Cell Analyzer (Millipore). Data represent the mean ± SD of n = 3 carried out in triplicate.

(A–C) Inhibition of formed HT-29 colony growth by various concentrations of OME (0, 150, 300, 450, and 600 μg/mL) was assessed by measuring the number and average size (surface area) of the colonies obtained in control and OME-treated plate as described in section Materials and methods.

Figure Lengend Snippet: Activation of extrinsic apoptotic pathway and upregulation of TNF-α in OME-treated HT-29 cells. (A) Western blot analysis of caspase 3, 7, and 8 activation and PARP cleavage in HT-29 cells. Cells were treated with or without increasing concentration (0, 150, 300, 450, and 600 μg/mL) of OME for 48 h, then whole cell proteins were extracted and subjected to Western blot analysis for the markers of apoptosis (B) Western blot analysis of TNF-α (C) Western blot analysis of cleaved PARP in cells pretreated for 1 h with and without Z-VAD-FMK (50 μM) followed by treatment with OME (450 μg/mL) for 48 h. (D) Inhibition of apoptosis has a minimal effect of OME-induced cell death. HT-29 cells were pretreated with Z-VAD-FMK as described above and then treated for 48 h with 450 μg/mL OME. Cell viability was determined as described in section Material and Methods. Values are represented as mean ± SD of n = 3 (* p < 0.05 and *** p < 0.001).
