"The effect of Antrodia camphorata (AC) on human oral cancer cells has not been explored.

"AC at a concentration of 25 PM induced an increase in cell viability, but AC at concentrations >= 50 mu g/ml decreased viability in a concentration-dependent manner. AC at concentrations of 100-200 mu g/ml induced apoptosis in a concentration-dependent manner as demonstrated by propidium iodide staining. AC (25 mu g/ml) did not alter basal [Ca2+](i), but decreased...
