10th AOTA Congress BALI, INDONESIA, 2012 Curcumin Induces both Apoptosis and Autophagy in Human Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma BCPAP Cells Zhang Li Jiangsu Institute of Nuclear Medicine Wuxi, Jiangsu, China Contact: zhangli@jsinm.org
? Curcumin Thyroid cancer Curcumin • An acitve polyphenol derived from the plant turmeric • low toxicity • anti-inflammatory • antioxidant • antiangiogenic • antitumour Chemical structure of curcumin
Apoptosis and Autophagy Apoptosis –type I programmed cell death Autophagy- type II programmed cell death - a self-degradative process - cope with stresses - required in apoptotic-deficient cells Three types of autophgay: • Microautophagy • Chaperone-mediated autophagy • Macroautopahgy
Part I Crucumin suppresses BCPAP cells growth
Part II Curcumin induces apoptosis in BCPAP cells
Effects of curcumin on pro-apoptotic and anti-apoptotic proteins A B
Effects of curcumin on loss of mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP)
Part III Curcumin induces autophagy in BCPAP cells
Induction of autophagy in curcumin-treated cells A B The FASEB JournalJune 2003vol. 17 no. 9 1165-1167
C Curcumin (mM) 0 50 RFP-LC3 Induction of autophagy in curcumin-treated cells
Effects of curcumin on the phosphorylation of AKT pathway A B
Dynamic distribution of curcumin in BCPAP cells Enlarged 6 h 12 h 24 h
Conclusions • Curcumin induces cytotoxicity of BCPAP cells. • Induction of apoptosis and autophagy as the likely underlying mechanism that is responsible for the cytotoxicity of curcumin . • Curcumin inhibited AKT pathway and activated mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling thereby inducing autophagy.
