AIM: To study the different death pathways in human cervical cancer HeLa and melanoma A375-S2 cells Initiated by evodiamine. METHODS: Viability of evodiamine-induced HeLa and A375-S2 cells was measured by MTT assay. Apoptotic cells with condensed or fragmented nuclei were visualized by Hoechst 33258 staining. Nucleoso mal DNA fragmentation was assayed by agarose gel electrophoresis. Proportion of cell death through apoptotic and necrotic pathways was determined by LDH activity-based cytotoxicity assays. Cell cycle distribution was observed by flow cytometry. RESULTS: Evodiamine induced HeLa and A375-S2 cell death dose- and time-dependently. Caspase-3 and -8 were activated in apoptosis induced by evodiamine 15μmol/L. However, over 24- h
