Effects of Curcumin Treatment on Cell Energy Status, Levels of Mitochondrial Enzymes, and Gene Expression of Glucose-related Mechanism in Panc-1 and BxPC-3 Cell Lines

Background and Purpose:. Curcumin is an active component of turmeric, has antitumor, immunomodulatory, anti-inflammatory effects. It was aimed to investigate the effects of the administration of curcumin on the energy metabolism, the abnormal redox defense mechanism profile, the malignant transformation indicator of Panc-1 and BxPC-3 pancreatic cancer cells. Methods: BxPC-3 and Panc-1 cells were incubated, were replaced with containing various concentrations of curcumin (10-125 μM) for 24 h. Cell lysate Adenosine triphosphate (ATP), Adenosine diphosphate (ADP), Adenosine monophosphate (AMP), Manganese superoxidase (MnSOD), and cytochrome p450 reductase (CPR) concentrations were analyzed with HPLC and ELISA methods. Genes expression of Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), mitochondrially encoded ATP synthase membrane subunit 6 (MTATP6), Glucose transporter 1 (GLUT1), and cytochrome p450 were analyzed. Results and Conclusion: IC50 values for 24 hours were found as 47,26 μM in BxPC-3 and 45,84 μM in Panc-1 cells. Treatment with curcumin inhibits oxidative stress by increasing MnSOD enzyme levels. ATP levels did not change in BxPC-3 cells, but it showed an increase in Panc-1 supplemented with curcumin. The effects of curcumin on GLUT-1 are significantly important at a dose of curcumin of 45 μM concentration and affect glucose consumption in both cells. Curcumin showed anti-proliferative, and antioxidant effects.
