Effects of cyclohexanone analogues of curcumin on growth, apoptosis and NF-κB activity in PC-3 human prostate cancer cells.

Abstract:

:Curcumin is a non-nutritive yellow pigment found in the spice turmeric, which is derived from the rhizome of the plant Curcuma longa Linn. Six cyclohexanone analogues of curcumin (A(1)-A(6)) were investigated for their effects on growth and apoptosis in PC-3 human prostate cancer cells. The ability of these compounds to inhibit NF-κB activity in PC-3 cells was also determined. Five out of the six curcumin analogues (A(2)-A(6)) had stronger inhibitory effects compared to curcumin on the growth of cultured PC-3 cells. Compounds A(2)-A(6) also had stronger stimulatory effects on apoptosis in PC-3 cells than curcumin, and these curcumin analogues more potently inhibited NF-κB activity than curcumin. The inhibitory effects of these compounds on NF-κB activity correlated with their effects on growth inhibition and apoptosis stimulation in PC-3 cells. The results of the present study provide a rationale for in vivo studies with A(2)-A(6) using suitable animal models of prostate cancer.

  • A multi-shRNA vector enhances the silencing efficiency of exogenous and endogenous genes in human cells.

    abstract::RNA interference (RNAi) is a powerful technology for suppressing gene function. In most studies, small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) consist of one short hairpin RNA (shRNA) and, therefore, are often unable to achieve loss-of-function of their target genes. In the current study, an RNAi vector containing three shRNAs unde...
