INTRODUCTION

Cancer performs with transformations in DNA, which could lead the cells on how to grow and divide. Normal cells have the power to reform generality of the transformations in their DNA, but the mutation which is not repaired which may be causing the cells to grow to begin to be cancerous cells (1).

Medicinal plants have played a role in taking action to reduce human health issues and supportive of the human body in the Stone Age. The World Health Organization (WHO) observed that 80% of the peoples in Asian and African countries rely on traditional medicines. (2).

Plants, since ancient times, health are received an advantage by all cultures and also can be obtained from medicines. It has been evaluated that about 80-85% of the world people had depended on conventional medicines for their primary health care necessarily and it is supposed to be the case that a great part of conventional treatment includes the utilization of plant extracts or their active components (3, 4). In spite of the fact that a lot of recent are studies and may be achieved for promoting the therapy and control of cancer advancement. The major effects of synthetic drugs are connected with side influences. Therefore natural medication, like utilize of the plants or their extractions is could be useful to prevent cancer (5).

Cancer is basically a disease of uncontrolled cell division. Cells had contained more variation techniques to limit cell division, repair DNA damage, and prohibit the advancement of cancer. May be due to this, its could be that cancer improves in a multi-step, in which various techniques usually fail before a critical mass has arrived and cells begin to be cancerous. These variations, cancer cells had contained the power to migrate to any sides of the body, this process is called metastasis, and to elevate the increasing of new blood vessels, which award tumor cells supply of oxygen and nutrients. Cancer cells may fail to subject programmed cell death may be caused by DNA damage (6).

Aloe Vera (Aloe barbadensis Miller), s have been very promising treatment for the therapy of confirmed types of cancer. It had contained a compound is called 1.8 dihydroxy-3 (hydroxymethyl) anthraquinone which had due to cancer cells death (7). Aloe Vera has could be effects on as anti-neoplastic and anti-proliferative on various cancer kinds and cell lines. Also, it has a high amount of possibility to avail as an adjunct to traditional chemotherapeutic, as these findings explained the possibility for synergy with choosing chemotherapeutic agents, acceptable for a lowering in drug dose (8).

Garden cress (Lepidium sativum L.,) belongs to the Brassicaceae or Cruciferae family of the plant kingdom that includes cruciferous vegetables. Garden cress is an annual polymorphous species with edible seeds, leaves, and stems (9). It is widely used in the Middle East in folk medicine and the seeds are said to have the rmogenic, depurative, rubefacient, tonic, abortive, ophthalmic, diuretic, contraceptive, and anti-cancer activities (10, 11). They are also used for bone healing (12), reducing inflammation, cough (bronchial asthma) (13) and anemia (11).

Garden cress seed has been used in curing many health-related complications by our ancients. It has been used in the treatment of many health problems such as hypertension, kidney diseases, prevention of cancer and mild glycemia. Garden cress seed is widely used to heal fractures and to increase milk secretion during lactation. Garden cress seed also possesses a wide range of antioxidants. Fatty acids of Garden cress seed oil helps in preventing coronary heart diseases (14).

The aim of this investigation was carried out to identification of phytochemical constituents from Aloe Vera and Garden Grass and their utilization as antioxidant activity and their utilization as anticancer activity.

MATERIALS AND METHODS

Materials

The plant Aloe Vera was bought at the flower market. The leaves were washed with distilled water and peel was separated from the gel. Extracts was isolated by using methanol 70% as a solvent.

Garden cress (Lepidium sativum L.) seeds were purchased from the local market. The seeds were ground in a grinder and the seed powder was packed in an airtight plastic container.

Mammalian cell lines, MCF-7 cells (human breast cancer cell line) were obtained from the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC, Rockville, MD).

Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), MTT and trypan blue dye was purchased from Sigma (St. Louis, Mo., USA). Fetal Bovine serum, DMEM, Vinblastine Sulfate and 5-Flurourasil were purchased from Lonza (Belgium)

Methods

Determination of the chemical continuance and minerals content of Aloe Vera and garden cress

Proximate analysis including crude protein, crude lipids, ash, crude fibers and total carbohydrates were determined in the raw materials (Aloe Vera and garden cress) according to the methods of AOAC (15).

Minerals content were determined in the diluted solution of ash raw materials (Aloe Vera and garden cress) using the atomic absorption spectrophotometer (3300 Perkin-Elme) as described in by AOAC (15).

Determination of total phenolic and flavonoid contents

The phenolic content of the extract was measured according to the method of Debnath et al. (16) and Im et al. (17). The result was expressed as percentage of galic acid equivalents (GAEs) mg per 100 g dry weight. Furthermore, the total flavonoid compounds were measured by the reported colorimetric assay and the result was expressed as percentage of Quercetin equivalents (QEEs) mg per 100 g dry weight according to Debnath et al. (16) and Lee et al. (18).

1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl radical-scavenging activity (DPPH)

The ability of the extract components to donate hydrogen atom or electron and scavenge 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical was determined by the method of Samad et al. (19). The radical-scavenging activity of the tested samples, expressed as percentage inhibition of DPPH, was calculated according to the formula (%) AA = [(A0 At)/A0] × 100

Where: At is the absorbance value of the tested sample and A0 is the absorbance value of DPPH, in particular time. Percent inhibition after 30 min was plotted against concentration, and the equation for the line was used to obtain the IC50 value. A lower IC50 value indicates greater antioxidant activity.

2,2-Azino-bis(3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulphonic acid) radical-scavenging activity (ABTS)

The ABTS method is based on the reduction of the green ABTS radical cation (7.00 mmol/L) that was obtained by its oxidation with equal volume of potassium persulphate (2.45 mmol/L), (20) for 1216 h at 4°C in the dark. The radical- scavenging activity of the tested samples, expressed as percentage inhibition of ABTS+, were calculated according to the formula

(%) AA = [(A0 At)/A0] × 100

Where: A0 and at are the absorbance values of the ABTS and the test sample, at particular times, respectively. Percent inhibition after 10 min was plotted against concentration, and the equation for the line was used to obtain the IC50 value. A lower IC50 value indicates greater antioxidant activity.

Fractionation and identification of phenolic acid and flavonoids compounds

The phenolic and flavonoid compounds of Aloe Vera and garden cress extract were determined using HPLC according to Goupy et al. (21). An HP1100 HPLC system equipped with an alpha bond C 18 125A column (4.6.250 mm, particle size 5 m) and coupled with agilent 1100 series Chem. Station software was used for quantifying the individual phenolic acids. The mobile phases consisted of 2.0% acetic acid in distilled water (A) and acetonitrile (B). The column was eluted at 1 ml/min under a linear gradient from 5% mobile phase B to 75% over 20 min, to 100% over 5 min. Sample injection volumes were 20 l. Compounds were detected at 280 nm and 330 nm for phenolic and flavonoid compounds with an HP1100 series ultraviolet (UV) diode array detector. Standards obtained from Sigma Co. were dissolved in a mobile phase and injected into HPLC. Retention time and peak area were used to calculation of phenolic and flavonoid compounds concentration by the data analysis of HEWLLET packared software.

Biological Tests

In vitro cell culture activities

MCF-7 cells (human breast cancer cell line), was has grown on RPMI-1640 medium supplemented with 10% inactivated fetal bovine serum (FCS) and 1% penicillin/streptomycin (10.000 units/ml/10mg/ml) The cells were maintained at 37ºC in a humidified atmosphere with 5% CO2 and were subculture two to three times a week.

Effect of Aloe Vera and garden cress on cultured tumor breast cancer (MFC-7)

For antitumor assays, the tumor cell lines (MFC-7) were suspended in medium at concentration 5×104 cell/well in Corning® 96-well tissue culture plate, and incubated for 24 hr. The tested compounds were then added into 96-well plates (three replicates) to achieve ten concentrations for each compound. Vinblastine Sulfate control with media or Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) 0.5 % were run for each 96 well plate as a control. After incubating for 48 h, the numbers of viable cells were determined by the MTT test. Briefly, the media was removed from the 96 well plates and replaced with 100 µl of fresh culture RPMI 1640 medium without phenol red then 10 µl of the 12 mM MTT stock solution (5 mg of MTT in 1 mL of PBS) to each well including the untreated controls. The 96 well plates were then incubated at 37°C and 5% CO2 for 4 hours. An 85 µl aliquot of the media was removed from the wells, and 50 µl of DMSO was added to each well and mixed thoroughly with the pipette and incubated at 37°C for 10 min. Then, the optical density was measured at 590 nm with the micro plate reader (Sun Rise, TECAN, Inc, USA) to determine the number of viable cells and the percentage of viability was calculated as [(ODt/ODc)]x100% where ODt is the mean optical density of wells treated with the tested sample and ODc is the mean optical density of untreated cells. The relation between surviving cells and drug concentration is plotted to get the survival curve of each tumor cell line after treatment with the specified compound. The 50% inhibitory concentration (IC50), the concentration required to cause toxic effects in 50% of intact cells, was estimated from graphic plots of the dose response curve for each conc. using Graphpad Prism software (San Diego, CA. USA) (22).

Statistical analysis:

The statistical analysis was performed by one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) followed by Dunnets test for the estimation of total variation in a set of data. Results were communicated in terms of mean values with (±SD) where the probability (p < 0.01) of getting the result was considered as significant.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

Chemical continuance and minerals content of Aloe Vera and garden cress

The results from the chemical composition of Aloe Vera leaves and garden cress seeds are shown in Table (1). From the results it could be noticed that the Aloe Vera was the highest in ash content, crude fiber and total carbohydrate were 14.21,

12.35 and 54.70% than garden cress was 5.55, 6.11 and 33.99%, respectively. Ash content is the first step to make ready a biological sample for particularly elemental analysis. For the reason that specific samples are elevated in certain minerals, therefore, ash content begins to be of great significance (23). Carbohydrates are a major source of energy and non-digestible polysaccharides is made up of the major portion of dietary fiber. Carbohydrates also provide as viscosity, stability to emulsions, water-holding capacity, desirable textures and also supply the feeling full in the stomach (23).

Moreover, the results observed that the garden cress had the highest in protein content and total lipid were 24.37 and

26.98 than Aloe Vera was 14.21 and 2.93%, respectively. Present results are in agreement with Al-Jasass and Al-Jasser (24) who reported that crude fat content, ash content, crude protein content and crude fiber content in L. sativum seeds was 23.19%, 7.1%, 24.19% and 11.9%, respectively. Zia-Ul-Haq et al. (25) reported that proximate analysis of L. sativum seeds indicated the presence of high amounts of protein (24.18%), fiber (6.75%), lipids (28.03%), ash (3.92%), moisture (3.92%) and carbohydrates (32.87%).

Meanwhile, research on Aloe Vera tissues found 7.56-15.4% crude proteins (26). The major structural components of foods are lipids, proteins, and carbohydrates were analyzed of great significance for careful nutritional information (23).

The results from the minerals content in the same Table showed that the iron, magnesium, manganese and zinc were the major component in Aloe Vera (5.07, 750.69, 4.33 and 4.19 mg/100g) and the minor component of garden cress was 4.12, 195.25, 0.41 and 2.10 mg/100, respectively. Moreover, the major component in garden cress were calcium, potassium and sodium (255.8, 643.0 and 42.00 mg/100g, respectively) and the minor component of Aloe Vera was 246.27, 487.38 and 22.7 mg/100g, respectively.

Magnesium plays an important function in lipid membrane stabilization, the action of copying and metabolic processes (27, 28). Manganese is essential for metabolism, reproduction, immunological system and growth of connective tissues in animal. But high level of Mn is toxic to the body, which causes neurodegenerative disorders (29). Potassium and Sodium both are essential and they play an important function in the cellular homeostasis (30). Calcium is the major metal in bone and ready to give help for adjusting skeletal and cardiac muscle contractions (31). Zinc is great significance and plays a function in the structure of proteins in addition in the enzymatic catalysis (32). Zinc and Potassium are effective to enhance the concentration of insulin and prevent diabetes Underwood (33).

Phytochemical content and activity of Aloe Vera and garden cress

Total phenolics and total flavonoids compounds were determined in methanol extract for Aloe Vera and garden cress and the results are tabulated in Table (2). The results observed that the significant increased in the total phenolic and flavonoid contents from garden cress (57.12 GAE/100g and 43.38 QE/100g) than Aloe Vera was significantly lower (20.28 GAE/100g and 15.49 QE/100g, respectively). These results are in confirmed with Vidic et al. (34) observed that the A. Vera had a significantly lower concentration of total phenolic and total flavonoid in m ethanolic extracts were 0.11±0.01 GAE/g and 0.5 ±

0.003 QE/g, respectively. Indumathy and Aruna (35) estimated the free radical scavenging activity of total phenolic and flavonoid compounds extracted from garden cress seeds was the total phenols (8.651mgGAE/gm) and flavonoids (4.023 mg CAE/gm). Methanolic extract of garden cress seeds observed maximum antioxidant activity by inhibiting DPPH and hydroxyl radical.

From the same Table it could be showed that the results for the IC50 values using DPPH and ABTS were significantly decreased from garden cress (1.557 and 0. 126 mg GAE/ml,) than Aloe Vera was 1.837 and 0.132 mg GAE/ml, respectively. These results confirmed that when the total phenolic and flavonoid content were increased the IC50 values of DPPH and ABTS were significantly decreased and its free radical scavenging activities were strong. H et al. (36) found that the water extracts total phenolic acids of Aloe Vera were 17.85 mg/g dry weight and the DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging activity ability from

4.32 to 8.87 and 0.58 to 0.87 mg of Trolox per 1 g dry weight respectively.

Fractionation and identification of phenolic acid and flavonoids compounds

For over four million years, flavonoids and other phenolic substances from medicinal herbs have been used or consumed by humans so as to live healthily and fight against undesirable diseases (37). As a plant secondary metabolites, flavonoids and other phenolics are found in several plant species, type and amount of the chemical components are vary depending on species and affecting by environmental factors i.e., mineral at the growth locality and geographic origin (38).

Fractionation and identification of phenolic acid and flavonoids compounds by HPLC results are reported in Table (3). The results indicate that eight phenolic compounds have been quantified in garden cress seed and Aloe Vera leave extract. P- Coumaric, gallic, vanilic and chlorogenic acids acid are the major compounds in Aloe Vera extract. Whilst, ferulic, caffic, cinamic and ellagic acids are the major compounds in garden cress extract. These phytochemicals are considered a potential source of functional food ingredients for their high antioxidant capacity (39).

The present research has found that eight flavonoid compounds were quantitatively identified in garden cress seeds and Aloe Vera extracts and the results are shown in Table (4). The quercetin, nargenin, and kampherol were the major components in Aloe Vera seeds extract and it showed 19.44, 13.72 and 23.44%, respectively. Meanwhile, garden cress extract illustrated that the rutin and qurcitrin were the major compounds (27.92 and22.20%, respectively) and also merictin, rhametin and apiginin compounds were nearly equal in Aloe Vera and garden cress extracts. Phytochemicals is a flavonoid that has been caused to come to a place of major benefit for the reason that it is a strong antioxidant with certain anti-cancer influences. Its structure has contained a double bond in the C ring and a 4-oxo group, which increases its antioxidant activity (40).

Inhibitory of the activity human breast cancer cell line (MCF-7) using garden cress extracts

The effect of garden cress extract against human breast cancer was estimated by the MTT assay. Garden cress extract was great activity against MCF-7 cell line and the results are summarized in Table (5, 6 and 7) and Figures (1, 2 and 3). From the resultant, the highest percentage inhibition value was 95.11% from garden cress extract at concentration 500g/ml. Moreover, the finding showed that when the highest dose from garden cress extract to give the greatest response may be caused the garden cress extract has contained compounds against cancer. Minimum inhibition was observed at extract concentration of 2.0, 3.9, 7.8 and 15.6g/ml were lower inhibition cell lines than Vinblastine Sulfate as control and 5-Flurourasil as a references, these means that the highest concentration of garden cress increased in inhibition the growth of MCF-7 cell line whereas, the lower concentration from Vinblastine Sulfate and 5-Flurourasil increased in inhibition the growth of MCF-7 cell line. Moreover, inhibitory activity of garden cress extract, Vinblastine Sulfate as control and 5-Flurourasil as a references against breast carcinoma cells (MFC-7) were detected using MTT assay under these experimental conditions with IC50 = 36.4± 2.9, 5.9 ± 0.8 and 28 2.7 µg/ml, respectively (after 48 hours incubation). These results confirmed by Swanson et al. (41) studied the aqueous extract of garden cress extract seeds for their cytotoxic and apoptotic effects on MCF-7 cancer cells and normal HFS cells the cytotoxic effect of MCF-7 cells was higher than normal cells with an application of 50% extract concentration, and this cytotoxic effect was observed to be caused by apoptotic effect. At 75% concentration, the cytotoxic effect was detected with necrosis. Moreover, overabundant production of free radical will be exacerbate oxidative harmful to proteins, lipids and DNA and even lead to cell death (42).

Inhibitory of the activity human breast cancer cell line (MCF-7) using Aloe Vera extract.

The effect of Aloe Vera extract assayed for their in vitro anticancer activity against MCF-7 cancer cells and were found to exhibit marked toxicity are in Table (8,9 and 10) and Figures (4,5 and 6). The results showed that the cytotoxic influence of the Aloe Vera extract found in this study was caused significantly increased cell cytotoxicity, from the minimize to maximum concentrations ranging from 1.0 to 500 l/ml due to constituents of Aloe Vera extract which it can exhibit cytotoxic activity against breast carcinoma cells (MCF-7). Moreover the vinblastine sulfate increased in inhibition the growth of MCF-7 cell line in the lower concentration at level 3.9, 7.8, 15.6 and 31.25 g/ml was give inhibition 4.83, 13.76, 29.17 and 54.98%, respectively.. Moreover, inhibitory activity of Aloe Vera extract, Vinblastine Sulfate as control and 5-Flurourasil as a references against breast carcinoma cells (MFC-7) were detected using MTT assay under these experimental conditions with IC50 = 28.2 ± 0.9, 4.26± 0.2 and 4.39 ± 2.5 µg/ml, respectively (after 48 hours incubation). These outcomes are in conformity with before research which observed that the Aloe Vera extract or its components considerably decreased the reproduction of cancer cells in vitro and in vivo whilst being lower toxic in the direction of the normal cells (43). Moreover the results confirmed by Sundarraj et al. (44) who found that the vital bioactive components showed anticancer possibility by various mechanisms involved suppression of signaling pathways, death induction and cell-cycle stopping. Jurasz et al. (45) found that tumor cell- induced aggregation of platelets is essential for the survival of tumor cells and its effective metastasis. a-Bulnesene current in hexane extract prevents platelet aggregation (46). This confirms that Aloe Vera extract induces cell death via apoptosis. Difference other research has also assured that the various constituents of Aloe Vera encourage cell cycle stopping and death in cancer cells (47, 48).
