Abstract EN
This investigation aims to study the effect of curcumin on the proliferation, cycle arrest, and apoptosis of Epstein–Barr virus- (EBV-) positive nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) cells.
EBV+ NPC cells were subjected to curcumin treatment.
The cell viability was evaluated with the CCK-8.
Cell cycle and apoptosis were analyzed by flow cytometry analysis.
Expression (protein and mRNA) levels were detected with western blotting and quantitative real-time PCR, respectively.
Curcumin efficiently reduced the viability of EBV+ NPC cells.
Curcumin induced the cycle arrest of the HONE1 and HK1-EBV cells positive for EBV.
Moreover, curcumin treatment promoted the NPC cell apoptosis, via the mitochondria- and death receptor-mediated pathways.
Furthermore, curcumin decreased the expression of EBNA1 in the HONE1 and HK1-EBV cells and inhibited the transcriptional level of EBNA1 in the HeLa cells.
Curcumin induced EBNA1 degradation via the proteasome-ubiquitin pathway.
In addition, curcumin inhibited the proliferation of HONE1 and HK1-EBV cells positive for EBV, probably by decreasing the expression level of EBNA1.
In both the HONE1 and HK1-EBV cells, curcumin inhibited the EBV latent and lytic replication.
Curcumin could reduce the EBNA1 expression and exert antitumor effects against NPC in vitro.
