Methods: In this experimental-laboratory study, HeLa cancer cells were purchased from Iran Cell Bank (Pasteur Institute, Tehran, Iran). HeLa cancer cells were cultured in DMEM culture media enriched with 10% FBS, stored in 6 well plate, and incubated for 24 hour. Then, cells were exposed to different concentrations of diclofenac and the viability of cells was evaluated by MTT assay, and the IC50 dose was calculated. The activity of Caspase-8 and caspase-9 on heLa cells, was assayed by ELISA method. The data were analyzed using one-way analysis of variance, Kolmogorov-Smirnov, and Tukey tests.
