Curcumin suppresses growth and chemoresistance of human glioblastoma cells via AP‐1 and NFκB transcription factors

Dhandapani, Krishnan M., Mahesh, Virendra B, Brann, Darrell W·2007·Journal of Neurochemistry

Abstract

Malignant gliomas are a debilitating class of brain tumors that are resistant to radiation and chemotherapeutic drugs, contributing to the poor prognosis associated with these tumors. Over‐expression of transcription factors such as NFκB and AP‐1 contribute to the enhanced glioma survival, radioresistance, and chemoresistance. Curcumin, which may inhibit these pathways, was therefore investigated for a potential therapeutic role in glioma. The effect of curcumin on glioma survival was investigated in human (T98G, U87MG, and T67) and rat (C6) glioma cell lines. The ability of curcumin to overcome glioma cell radioresistance and chemoresistance was also explored. Curcumin reduced cell survival in a p53‐ and caspase‐independent manner, an effect correlated with the inhibition of AP‐1 and NFκB signaling pathways via prevention of constitutive JNK and Akt activation. Curcumin‐sensitized glioma cells to several clinically utilized chemotherapeutic agents (cisplatin, etoposide, camptothecin, and doxorubicin) and radiation, effects correlated with reduced expression of bcl‐2 and IAP family members as well as DNA repair enzymes (MGMT, DNA‐PK, Ku70, Ku80, and ERCC‐1). These findings support a role for curcumin as an adjunct to traditional chemotherapy and radiation in the treatment of brain cancer.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
