| Abstract:: |
| Objective To investigate the combination effect of curcumin and γ-ray irradiation on PANC-1 cells in vitro. Methods PANC-1 cells were exposed to γ-rays in the presence or absence of curcumin. MTT assay was performed to evaluate cell viability. The expression of P21 was evaluated with RT-PCR and Western blot. Cell cycle distribution and apoptosis were tested by flow cytometry. Results Compared with the γ-ray irradiation group, combination treatment of curcumin and irradiation decreased the cell viability (t=6.72, P<0.01) and increased the percentage of cells in S-phase (t=4.78, P<0.05), apoptosis rate (t=6.58,P<0.01), P21 protein and mRNA expression (t=5.72, 5.63, P<0.01) in PANC-1 cells. Conclusions Curcumin increases the radiosensitivity of PANC-1 cells, which may have clinical implication on radiotherapy of pancreatic cancer. |
