comparative in silicoin vitro study of synergistic effect of curcuminoids as inhibitors of breast liver cancer cells
2017
1. Abstract In the present work
curcumin, demethoxycurcumin and bisdemethoxycurcumin have been synthesized and
their inhibitory effects were studied on three different human breast cancer
cell lines ZR-75, MDA-MB-231, HepG2 (Hepatocellular Carcinoma) and one normal
cell line MCF10A. Their effects were compared with the cumulative effect of
natural curcumin (Curcuminoid Mixture) through in vitro and in silico study . For in vitro screening,
cytotoxicity analysis of curcuminoids was done in breast cancer cell lines,
while changes in cellular and nuclear morphology were examined using phase contrast
microscopy and Hoechst staining. Results obtained were further validated
through in silico study, via
examining role of seven major key regulatory proteins of breast cancer as
targets of curcumin and curcuminoids. The individual curcuminoids and natural
curcumin appear to act via different pathways causing apoptosis and necrosis.
Based on the present study, it has been observed that synthetic curcumin,
curcuminoids and their naturally occurring mixture significantly affect the molecular
pathways of apoptosis and necrosis. 2. Keywords: Apoptosis; Breast cancer; Curcuminoids;
