Curcumin-Induced Apoptosis in Human Hepatocellular Carcinoma J5 Cells: Critical Role ofCa+2-Dependent Pathway

Abstract: The antitumor effects of curcumin, a natural biologically active compound extracted from rhizomes of Curcuma longa, have been studied in many cancer cell types including human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Here, we investigated the effects of Ca2+ on curcumin-induced apoptosis in human HCC J5 cells. The abrogation of mitochondrial membrane potential (ΔΨm), the increase of reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, and calcium release were demonstrated with flow cytometry as early as 15 minutes after curcumin … Show more

“…The protein expressions of VEGF, MMP-2, MMP-9, IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α, pNF-κB, and NF-κB were evaluated with western blotting assays as described by Wang et al (20). The protein expression was quantified by densitometry using ImageJ software version 1.50 (National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD, USA) in order to determine the density of regions of interest.…”

“…In the present study, curcumin significantly decreased the calcium ion accumulation in the sciatic nerve which could be a reason for protective effect of curcumin against vincristine-induced CIPN. Previous findings also indicate that curcumin possesses calcium inhibitory action (Wang et al, 2012).…”

“…TMZ not only induces apoptosis but also triggers NF-ĸB activity in glioblastoma cells. Therapeutic efficacy of TMZ is limited because of overexpression of NF-ĸB-modulated anti-apoptotic proteins; inhibition of NF-ĸB activation sensitizes glioblastoma cells to TMZ (21,22). Tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) is a potential anticancer agent because it induces apoptosis leading to tumor growth inhibition in cancer (23).…”
