METHODS:HT-29 cells were treated with curcumin (0-80μmol/L)for 24 h.The effects of curcumin on the morphology of HT-29 cells were studied by Hoechst 33342 staining.The activity of caspase-3 was determined using DEVD-p NA as substrate.The levels of peroxisome PPARδ,14-3-3εand vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF)in HT-29 cells were determined by Western blotting analysis and their mRNA expression was determined by real-time quantitative RT-PCR. RESULTS:Treatment with 10-80μmol/L curcumin induced typical features of apoptosis and activated the caspase-3 in HT-29 cells.The expression of PPARδ, 14-3-3εand VEGF was reduced and the activity of β-catenin/Tcf-4 signaling was inhibited by curcumin treatment. CONCLUSION:Curcumin can induce apoptosis of HT-29 cells and down-regulate the expression of PPARδ,14-3-3εand VEGF in HT-29.展开更多
