740Y-P reversed the effects of curcumin on the expression of apoptosis-associated proteins. After treatment with curcumin and/or 740Y-P, the protein levels of (A) caspase-3, (B) caspase-9, (C) Bax and (D) Bcl-2 were detected by western blot analysis. β-actin was used as the internal reference. All experiments were repeated more than three times. The results are expressed as the mean ± standard deviation. *P<0.05, **P<0.01 and ***P<0.001. Bcl-2, B-cell lymphoma-2; Bax, Bcl-2 associated X protein.
