In particular, the study looked into the wild carrot&#8217;s ability to suppress the proliferation of tumors and protect from chemically induced papillomas.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">The researchers tested four fractions of wild carrot oil extract (DCOE): F1, 100% pentane; F2, 50:50 pentane:diethyl ether; F3, 100% diethyl ether; F4 93:7 chloroform:methanol.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">The researchers used HaCaT (non-tumorigenic), HaCaT-ras A5 (benign tumorigenic) and HaCaT-ras II4 (malignant) keratinocytes for their study. The three cell lines were treated with increasing concentrations of DCOE fractions (10, 25, 50 and 100 &#956;g\/mL). A WST-1 assay was used to gauge cell proliferation. They used flow cytometry to determine cell cycle distribution and western blot to determine the action of apoptosis-related proteins.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">An animal model was created involving mice that had chemically-induced papillomas through the application 190 nmol of 7,12-Dimethylbenz (a) anthracene (DMBA) in 0.2 mL acetone on their dorsal region. After three weeks, 8 nmol TPA in 0.2 mL acetone was applied twice weekly at the same spot. Three mice groups received varying doses of F2 fraction in 10 milligrams per kilogram (mg\/kg), 50 mg\/kg, 200 mg\/kg doses.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">The scientists identified F2 as being highly effective, not only reducing the number of cancer cells but also causing the enhanced expression of pro-apoptotic proteins and inhibiting anti-apoptotic proteins.<br \/>Intraperitoneal injection of F2 fraction also inhibited papilloma incidence, yield, and volume.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">The scientists concluded that F2 fraction of DCOE has potent anti-tumor qualities.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">&#160;<\/p>\n<p>    <strong>yogaesoteric<br \/>October 14&#160;, 2018<br \/><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>  &#160;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#160; The oil extracts of the wild carrot (Daucus carota) could potentially be used to treat for skin cancer, according to a study published in the journal BMC Complementary and Alternative Medicine.
