Abstract

Background

Glucose-regulated protein 78 (GRP78) plays an important role in the therapeutic treatment and progression of cancer. However, little is known about the effect of GRP78 expression to curcumin in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).

Materials and Methods

In this study, we generated GRP78 knockdown cells (GRP78KD) by a short interfering RNA (siRNA) technique. The antiproliferation effects of curcumin were determined by MTT assay, TUNEL assay, and cell cycle determination.

Results

We found that GRP78KD cells were more resistant to curcumin treatment compared with the parental cells in MTT assay. The apoptosis cell population was increased in scrambled-siRNA cells treated with curcumin compared with GRP78KD cells in cell cycle distribution and TUNEL assays. Finally, we found that knocking down GRP78 causes resistance to curcumin treatment through the suppression of caspase-3 and caspase-8 expression levels.

Conclusions

We conclude that the expression level of GRP78 may contribute to the therapeutic effect of curcumin on HCC cells.

S3-Leitlinie „Diagnostik und Therapie des Karpaltunnelsyndroms“

Karpaltunnelsyndrom BDC Leitlinien Webinare
CME: 2 Punkte

Das Karpaltunnelsyndrom ist die häufigste Kompressionsneuropathie peripherer Nerven. Obwohl die Anamnese mit dem nächtlichen Einschlafen der Hand (Brachialgia parästhetica nocturna) sehr typisch ist, ist eine klinisch-neurologische Untersuchung und Elektroneurografie in manchen Fällen auch eine Neurosonografie erforderlich. Im Anfangsstadium sind konservative Maßnahmen (Handgelenksschiene, Ergotherapie) empfehlenswert. Bei nicht Ansprechen der konservativen Therapie oder Auftreten von neurologischen Ausfällen ist eine Dekompression des N. medianus am Karpaltunnel indiziert.
