Curcumin inhibits miR-155, TNF-α and IL-6 through PI3K-AKT pathway. (A,B) Western blot analysis of PI3K p85α, p-p85α, AKT and the phosphorylation of AKT. Cells were pretreated with curcumin (5, 10, 15 μM) for 2 h, followed by stimulation with LPS for 30 min. Bands were quantified by Image J software. (C,D) Raw264.7 cells were pretreated with or without the inhibitor of PI3K (LY294002) for different time periods (0, 2, 4, 6, 8 h) before LPS stimulation for 4 h. MiR-155 (C) and mRNA levels of TNF-α and IL-6 (D) were assayed. (E,F) Western blot analysis of PI3K p85α, p-p85α, AKT, P-AKT. Raw264.7 cells were pretreated with or without LY294002 2 h followed by stimulation with LPS for 0, 15, 30, 60 min. The data are presented as the mean ± SEM of at least three independent experiments.
