(A) Curcumin (NP) can induce apoptosis of tumor cells. KBM-5 (5000 cells/well) cells were incubated with curcumin or curcumin (NP) in indicated concentrations for 24 h. The cells were harvested and stained with Live/Dead assay reagent as per the manufactures protocol as described in methods. (B) Curcumin (NP) can inhibit proliferation of tumor cells. Human leukemia (KBM-5 and Jurkat), prostate (DU145), breast (MDA-MB-231), colon (HCT116) and esophageal (SEG-1) cancer cells were incubated with different concentrations of either curcumin or curcumin (NP) in for 72 h and then examined for apoptosis by MTT method. All results were expressed with vehicle control as 100%.
