Figure 4.

Effect of NF-κB inhibitor on cell morphology and cell survival. A) Cell morphology. Cells were cultured in presence or absence of curcumin (10 μM) for 2 days (original magnification ×400). B) Cell length. Values are means ± SD of 3 separate experiments. C) Cell survival. Subconfluent cells were cultured with or without curcumin in serum and growth factors free medium for 5 days.

Notes: *P < 0.05 compared with control; **P < 0.05 compared with cells treated with IL-1β; ⁺P < 0.05 compared to same cytokine treatment without curcumin.
