The objective of this study was to investigate the antiproliferative effect and the mechanism of trypsininhibitor (TI) from sweet potato [Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam. 'Tainong 57'] storage roots on NB4promyelocytic leukemia cells. The results showed that TI inhibited cellular growth of NB4 promyelocyticleukemia cells in a time-dependent and dose-dependent manner, and treatment for 72 h induced amarked inhibition of cellular growth, showing an IC50 of 57.1 ± 8.26 g/mL. TI caused cell cyclearrest at the G1 phase as determined by flow cytometric analysis and apoptosis as shown by DNAladdering. TI-induced cell apoptosis involved p53, Bcl-2, Bax, and cytochrome c protein in NB4 cells.P53 and Bax proteins were accumulated, and antiapoptotic molecule Bcl-2 was decreased in thetested cells in a time-dependent manner during TI treatment. TI also induced a substantial releaseof cytochrome c from the mitochondria into the cytosol. Hence, TI induced apoptosis in NB4 cellsthrough a mitochondria-dependent pathway, which was associated with the activation of caspase-3and -8. These results demonstrated that TI induces NB4 cell apoptosis through the inhibition of cellgrowth and the activation of the pathway of caspase-3 and -8 cascades.
