Antitumor and apoptotic effects of quercetin on human melanoma cells involving JNK/P38 MAPK signaling activation

In this study, we investigated whether Quercetin has anti-cancer effects on A375SM and A375P human melanoma cells. Cell viability was assessed using an MTT assay. The proliferation of melanoma cells was measured by a wound-healing assay. Quercetin significantly decreased viability and proliferation of A375SM cells in a concentration-dependent manner. However, quercetin had no effect on A375P cells. DAPI staining showed increased chromatin...
