ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the anti-proliferative effects of curcumol, an herbal extract from curcuma, in human hepatocarcinoma HepG2 cells, and its possible molecular mechanism.</p><p><b>METHOD</b>The effects of curcumol on human hepatocarcinoma cells were assessed in vitro. Proliferation of HepG2 cells treated with various concentration (2.5-10 mg x L(-1)) of curcumol was determined using the MTT assay and the distribution of cell cycle of HepG2 cells was analyzed using the FCM technique. Expression of 14 cell cycle regulation-related genes were assessed by TaqMan real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) method and Western blot.</p><p><b>RESULT</b>Curcumol significantly inhibited the proliferation of HepG2 cells and induced G1 phase arrest in a dose- and time-dependent manner. The mRNA levels of pRB1, cyclin D1, CDK2, CDK8 and p27KIP1 were elevated, while cyclin A1 decreased, in both of the low (25 mg x L(-1)) and the high dose (100 mg x L(-1)) treatment of curcumol. There were no significant changes in the expression of either cyclin E1 or CDK4. The expression of p53 and its target genes p21WAF1 and Wip1 protein were increased.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Curcumol can inhibit the proliferation of HepG2 cells in vitro and induce G1 arrest of cell cycle through mechanisms activating p53 and pRB pathways that involve genes of cyclin A1, CDK2, CDK8, p21WAF1 and p27KIP1.</p>
