Methods: NB4 cells were cultured and treated with or without curcumin at different concentration (50 μ mol/L, 25μ mol/L, 12.5μ mol/L, 6.25μ mol/L, 3.125μ mol/L) at various time points (oh, 4h, 8h, 12h, 24h). Western blot analysis was performed to determine the level of acetylated histone H3, p53 and acetylated p53, MTT assay was performed to examine the proliferation of NB4 cells. Results: the proliferation of NB4 cells was inhibited by curcumin in a time- and dose-dependent manner, the IC50 at 24h and 36h were 40μ mol/L and 25μ mol/L respectively. The levels of acetylated histone H3 and acetylated p53 were increased obviously. Conclusion: curcumin possessed the founction of deacetylases inhibitor, increased the level of acetylated histone H3 and the expression of tumor suppressor p53, enhanced later’s activity, and inhibited the proliferation of NB4 cell.展开更多
