Effects of lycopene on ovarian cancer cell line SKOV3 in vitro: Suppressed proliferation and enhanced apoptosis

ConclusionLycopene could inhibit the proliferation of SKOV3 cells and enhance their apoptosis in vitro. The induction of cell apoptosis might be mediated by up-regulating Bax expression and down-regulating Bcl-2 expression.
