Curcumin-loaded emulsome nanoparticles induces apoptosis through p53 signaling pathway in pancreatic cancer cell line PANC-1
Pancreatic cancer is a global health problem with a poor prognosis, limited treatment options and low survival rates of patients. Thus, the exploration of novel treatment approaches is crucial. Curcumin shows promise in pancreatic cancer. Curcumin has anticancer properties promoting apoptosis through the p53 pathway. However, adverse effects and low bioavailability are curcumin's main drawbacks and its delivery by nanoparticles could improve its effectiveness as a treatment option. Curcumin-loaded emulsome nanoparticles (CurEm) have shown promise in colorectal, hepatocellular, and prostate cancers. This study aims to evaluate the anticancer potential of CurEm in pancreatic cancer cell line PANC-1. The cytotoxic effects of CurEm on PANC-1 cells show cytotoxicity in dose and time-dependent manner. The selected dose 30 μM CurEm resulted spheroidal morphology in PANC-1 cells and colony forming and scratch assay conducted demonstrated significant growth inhibition and decrease in migration ability, respectively. Cell cycle analysis shows that CurEm induces G2/M arrest in PANC-1 cells. CurEm-treated PANC-1 cells showed a significant increase in p53 and Caspase 3 genes, while a significant decrease in Bcl-2 genes compared to untreated group. Western blot results showed parallel results to qPCR analysis for Bcl-2 protein levels. Interestingly, we saw low p53 protein levels in CurEm-treated PANC-1 cells. These findings shed light on the potential of CurEm as an effective and stable therapeutic approach for pancreatic cancer.
期刊介绍:
Toxicology in Vitro publishes original research papers and reviews on the application and use of in vitro systems for assessing or predicting the toxic effects of chemicals and elucidating their mechanisms of action. These in vitro techniques include utilizing cell or tissue cultures, isolated cells, tissue slices, subcellular fractions, transgenic cell cultures, and cells from transgenic organisms, as well as in silico modelling. The Journal will focus on investigations that involve the development and validation of new in vitro methods, e.g. for prediction of toxic effects based on traditional and in silico modelling; on the use of methods in high-throughput toxicology and pharmacology; elucidation of mechanisms of toxic action; the application of genomics, transcriptomics and proteomics in toxicology, as well as on comparative studies that characterise the relationship between in vitro and in vivo findings. The Journal strongly encourages the submission of manuscripts that focus on the development of in vitro methods, their practical applications and regulatory use (e.g. in the areas of food components cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, pesticides, and industrial chemicals). Toxicology in Vitro discourages papers that record reporting on toxicological effects from materials, such as plant extracts or herbal medicines, that have not been chemically characterized.
