Objective To investigate the suppressive effect of Resverol(Res) on proliferation of C6 cell. Methods Res at various concentrations were used to process the C6 cell; the inhibitory action on the growth of C6 cell was evaluated through MTT assay. The cell cycle distribution change and apoptosis induced by Res were examined through flow cytometer (FCM). In addition, the electron microscope was applied to observe the change of the cell's ultra microstructure. Results The experiment showed that Res could suppress the growth and multiplication of C6 cell in a doesand time-dependent manner. Simultaneously Res could effect the C6 cell's cycle distribution, block the cell advancing from G1 to S period. In the experiment the C6 cell apoptosis was induced by Res and the ultra microstructure of C6 cell changed. Conclusion Res obviously suppressed the proliferation of C6 cell and induced its apoptosis and change the cell cycle.
