Molecular mechanism of curcumin induced cytotoxicity in human cervical carcinoma cells.

abstract：:Na+/Ca2+ exchange (NCX) is a major Ca2+ extrusion system in cardiac myocytes, but can also mediate Ca2+ influx and trigger sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ release. Under conditions such as digitalis toxicity or ischemia/reperfusion, increased [Na+]i may lead to a rise in [Ca2+]i through NCX, causing Ca2+ overload and trig...
