Effects of Notch signaling components from breast cancer cells treated in culture with resveratrol

Abstract Resveratrol (Res) has an anti-tumor effect. Notch signaling components from breast cancer cells treated in culture with Resveratrol was investigated. MDA-MB-231cells were divided into control group (Res-untreated) and Res-treated groups including six concentrations 0 μM, 10 μM, 20 μM, 40 μM, 80 μM and 160 μM. Cytotoxicity test were evaluated by CCK-8. The mRNA and Protein expression levels of Notch1, Jagged1, Dll4 and Hes-5 were detected by RT-PCR and Western blot. The mRNA expression of Notch1, Jagged1, Hes-5 and Dll4 in the Res administration group decreased significantly (0.01
