Curcumin (30 μM) blocks the adhesive, motile and invasive characteristics of PC-3 cells exposed to CCL2. Adhesion assays were performed on fibronectin (A), collagen (B), or laminin (C) using either 30 min (black bars) or 60 min (white bars) incubations. The motility (D) and invasion (E) assays were performed using a transwell system incubated for 18 hr in the absence and presence of matrigel, respectively. The results are presented as the percentage of vehicle-treated control. Each bar represents the mean ± SEM of 2-3 independent experiments. See Materials and methods for statistical analysis. *, p< 0.05; compared to vehicle-treated control cells. †, p< 0.05 compared to CCL2-treated cells. Abbreviations: cur: curcumin, CCL2: CC motif ligand 2, CCR2i: a CCL2 receptor inhibitor.
