Transcriptome analysis reveals possible antitumor mechanism of Chlorella exopolysaccharide

Microalgae, one of the most important classes of biomass producers, can produce exopolysaccharides similar to bacteria. The exopolysaccharide from Chlorella (CEPS) displays remarkable anticancer activity the mechanism of which remains to be elucidated. In this study, we analyzed the inhibitory effect of CEPS on the growth of HeLa cells. The results showed that CEPS inhibited the proliferation, decreased the viability, and changed the morphology...
