Figure 8. Action of nano-curcumin against virus-induced inflammatory response.

Figure 8

A) SUPT1 cells were challenged for 4 h with HIV-193IN101 in the presence of 5 µM of sol-curcumin, nano-curcumin or nano-apotranferrin. The expression of topoisomerase IIβ, IL-1β, TNF-α and COX-2 was determined by semi-quantitative-PCR. Template from normal SUP-T1 cells was used as negative control. 18S was used as an internal control in both experiments. IL-1β (Panel B), COX-2 (Panel C) and TNF-α (Panel D) were estimated using commercial kits as described in the methods section. Error bars indicate SD. ***, P≤0.001 compared to nano-curcumin.
