Effect of basil (Ocimum basilicum L.) blossoms aqueous extract on apoptotic markers Caspase-3 (a), p53 (b), DR4 (c), and Bcl-2 (d) mRNA levels in MCF7 cells were put under treatment for 24 and 48 h with different groupings of basil (Ocimum basilicum L.) blossoms watery extract (0, 50, 150, and 250 µg/mL). From that point, the mRNA levels of Caspase-3, p53, DR4, and BcL2 were evaluated utilizing RT-PCR and standardized to β-actin housekeeping gene. Values were recorded as means ± SEM ± SEM (n = 5) of three tests. ***P < 0.001, **P < 0.01, *P < 0.05 contrasted with control (0 µg/mL)
