Materials and Methods: The expression profiling microarray was carried out to extract RNA from SK-Hep-1 which suffered from OSW-1. ¦Ñ0-SK-Hep-1 was maintained SK-Hep-1 in MEM containing 100 ¦Ìg/L ethidium bromide (EB), 1 mM sodium pyruvate and 50 ¦Ìg/ml uridine for 40 days. Then confirmed COX-I and COX-II of mitochondrial DNA were knocked out. Cells suffered from OSW-1 or doxorubicin. Then cells were washed twice with cold PBS and incubated with DCFH-DA. Fluorescent signal was recorded by using Infinite 200 Pro multimode Plate readers. Results: OSW-1 elevates generation of ROS and Cytochrome C which are associated with the induction of apoptosis in SK-Hep-1 cells. We also demonstrate that OSW-1 does not depend on p53 to up-regulate the BH3-only protein Noxa. What is more noteworthy that the Caspase-9 and FADD are down-regulated in above process. Conclusion: OSW-1 induced special apoptosis is different from the mitochondrial death pathway and the death receptor pathway and final result is not Caspase family¡¯s activating. This provides a novel theory that nonmalignant cells are significantly less sensitive to OSW-1 than cancer cell lines. %K OSW-1 %K Hepatocellular Carcinomas %K ROS %K Cytochrome C %K Mitochondrial Death Pathway %U http://www.scirp.org/journal/PaperInformation.aspx?PaperID=74699
