Research on the effect of ginseng polysaccharide on apoptosis and cell cycle of human leukemia cell line K562 and its molecular mechanisms

Ginseng polysaccharide (GPS), a polymer of glucose and the primary constituent extracted from panax ginseng, has been documented to exert various pharmacological properties, including anti‑tumor properties. To provide further insights into the anti‑tumor functions of GPS, the present study was designed to investigate the effect of GPS on apoptosis and the cell cycle of human leukemia cell line K562 cells, and its underlying mechanisms. The...
