Morphological alterations and G0/G1 cell cycle arrest induced by curcumin in human SK-MEL-37 melanoma cells

Abstract: The aim of this work was to study the effect of curcumin on cell cycle in the human SK-MEL-37 melanoma cell line. In addition, morphological and structural analyses were also performed. Flow cytometric analysis showed a G0/G1 arrest at 5 µM after 24 h exposure and a concentration-dependent increase in the proportion of sub-G0 hypodiploid cells. Typical apoptotic events were also observed by the fluorescence microscopy, transmission and scanning electronic microscopy. Loss of mitochondrial membrane potential wa… Show more

“…The suspension of non-loaded nanocapsules (Nano_0) showed a liquid aspect with a slightly bluishwhite opalescent coloring as typically reported in literature [17]. However, the suspension of CUR-loaded PEG-PCL nanocapsules (Nano_CUR) presented a yellow liquid aspect due to the original intense yellow color of CUR [4].…”

“…CUR has been recommended for several diseases, such as cancer, neurological disorders, infections, inflammations, atherosclerosis, joint and liver diseases [1,2]. Clinical evidences have been showed that CUR presents antitumor effect against a wide diversity of cancer types, including gastrointestinal, melanoma, genitourinary, breast, lung, neck, and sarcoma [4]. In general, CUR acts by suppressing the initiation, the promotion, and the metastasis of tumor cells when used alone or in combination with other chemotherapeutic agents [5].…”

“…27 Many studies have shown that curcumin nanocomposites could lead to cell cycle arrest in G0/G1 in cancer cells. 57 But our study indicates that curcumin-LDH-PDT (100 µg/mL) can induce G0/G1 arrest in MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells along with induction of apoptosis (Figures 4 and 5) and Finally, as it is known curcumin is a multiaction drug that targets different pathways inside the body. 57 But our study indicates that curcumin-LDH-PDT (100 µg/mL) can induce G0/G1 arrest in MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells along with induction of apoptosis (Figures 4 and 5) and Finally, as it is known curcumin is a multiaction drug that targets different pathways inside the body.…”

“…56 It is interesting that G0/G1 cell cycle arrest has been reported mainly in normal curcumin-treated cells. 57 But our study indicates that curcumin-LDH-PDT (100 µg/mL) can induce G0/G1 arrest in MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells along with induction of apoptosis (Figures 4 and 5) and F I G U R E 7 Effects of curcumin-layered double hydroxide (LDH) nanohybrid-photodynamic treatment (PDT) on intracellular reactive oxygen species generation in MDA-MB-231 cells. The cells were treated with 0 (fx2), 25 (fx3), 100 µg/ml (fx4) curcumin-LDH nanohybrid and then irradiated with blue light-emitting diode (PDT).…”

“…Vesicular structure of the mitochondrial inner membrane was altered which eventually leads to the loss of cisternae [4750]. Ultrastructural images (Figure 6) suggest that CUR-MSNAP influenced cells to undergo apoptosis by remodelling the inner mitochondrial membrane from normal vesicular structure to swollen vesicular at 24 h and completely swollen mitochondria at 48 h. Interestingly, it has been reported that unbound curcumin induces apoptosis by damaging chromosome and the plasma membrane in MCF-7 cells, however, there is no report to suggest that unbound curcumin cause mitochondrial insult [51]. Lv et al reported free curcumin-induced apoptosis in breast cancer cells by mitochondrial insult with cisternae degradation at 48 h [52].…”
