Abstract


Aim and Objectives: This work is conducted to estimate the apoptotic effect of Graviola on tongue
squamous cell carcinoma cell line by calculating the nuclear area factor (NAF) of the Graviola-treated cells.
Material and Methods: Tongue squamous cell carcinoma cell line (HNO-97) was used in the current work.
The drug tested in the current work was Graviola (Annona Muricata). The cytotoxicity of Graviola on cultured
HNO-97 cells was evaluated by using the MTT cytotoxicity assay. Software for image analysis was used to
estimate the NAF of Graviola-treated cells at every concentration. Obtained data were then statistically analyzed.
Results: The obtained data showed a decrease in the NAF mean values of HNO-97 cells which treated with
various concentrations of Graviola at various durations as compared to untreated cells.
Conclusion: The current data indicated that estimation of NAF is a sensitive technique for prediction of early
apoptosis of Graviola-treated squamous cell carcinoma cell line.
