Effect of curcumin and sorafenib on AKT gene expression in KG1 and U937 cell lines

Authors

Abstract:

Abstract Background and Objectives Acute myeloid leukemia is a heterozygous hematologic malignancy that is manifested by the     accumulation of hematopoietics stem cells in peripheral blood and bone marrow. Anticancer effects and  cryotoxic activity of curcumin have been proven frequently in many cancers. Sorafenib is known as an inhibitor of angiogenesis which prevent cells’ survival. In the present study, the effects of curcumin and sorafenib and their combination were evaluated on AML cells.   Materials and Methods In this experimental study, U937 and KG-1 cells were treated with different concentration of curcumin and sorafenib and their combination.  MTT assay was applied to assess the viability of cells.  Percentage of apoptotic cells was evaluated by annexin PI staining. Also Real Time PCR was performed to investigte the level of  AKT mRNA expression.   Results Our data showed that the percentage of apoptotic cells significantly increased in response to treatment with  curcumin (40µM in KG-1 and U937 cell lines), sorafenib (5 µM and 7 µM in U937 and KG-1, respectively) and their combination. Moreover, the mRNA level of AKT gene was downregulated in KG-1 and U937 cells.   Conclusions  Our results suggest that combination of curcumin and sorafenib could lead to promote apoptosis. Furthurermore, downregulation of AKT gene shows that these agents can be considered as effective agents on AML cells.

The effect of nanomicelle curcumin, sorafenib, and combination of the two on the cyclin D1 gene expression of the hepatocellular carcinoma cell line (HUH7)

Objective(s): Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most significant health condition around the world. As the only curative therapies, liver transplantation and surgical resection are the clinical treatments of HCC. Due to the systemic toxicity and severe side effects of these treatments, it is vital to establish new therapeutic approaches. The present study ai...

THE EFFECT OF QUINACRINE ON THE EXPRESSION OF WNT3A GENE IN MDA-MB 231 AND MCF7 BREAST CANCER CELL LINES

Background & Aims: Triple-negative breast cancer cells refer to any breast cancer that does not express the genes for the estrogen, progesterone, and HER2 receptors. The Wnt signaling pathway is important in the development and progression of various types of cancers. Quinacrine, a derivative of 9-aminoacridine, has been shown to inhibit the growth of several types of cancer cells. In this stud...
