Abstract

It has been known that quercetin, a bioflavonoid widely distributed in fruits and vegetables as dietary-derived flavonoid and exert significant multiple biological effects such as antioxidant and anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor effects. In addition, it has been shown to have a chemoprotective role in cancer, though complex effects on signal transduction involved in cell proliferation and angiogenesis. The present study investigated whether quercetin can enhance antioxidant enzyme activity (glutathione peroxidase: GPx, superoxide dismutase: SOD, catalase: CAT) and regulate the reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation in the presence of vitamin E, L-ascorbic acid, reduced glutathione (GSH) on B16F10 murine melanoma cells. After 48h treatment of cells with quercetin in the presence of vitamin E, L-ascorbic acid, GSH, we measured the cytotoxicities by MTT assay. The cells exhibited a dose-dependent inhibition in their proliferation in the presence of vitamin E, L-ascorbic acid, GSH respectively. We also investigated the effects of antioxidant enzyme activity and ROS generation. The antioxidant enzyme activity of quercetin in the presence of vitamin E was stronger than GSH, L-ascorbic acid, the same treatments decreased ROS generation in B16F10 murine melanoma cells. Taken together, these result demonstrate that the antioxidant effect of quercetin can enhanced in the presence of vitamin E and it might plays an important role in anti-oxidative effects.
