Curcumin Protects against UVB-Induced Skin Cancers in SKH-1 Hairless Mouse: Analysis of Early Molecular Markers in Carcinogenesis

Figure 2

Inhibition of UVB-induced apoptosis by CUR. The apoptotic cells were detected by TUNEL assay and H&E staining (a) control; (b) UV; (c) CUR-T + UV; (d) UV + CUR-T. Arrows show apoptotic cells with brown staining. Quantitative results of TUNEL-positive cells (e), and H&E-positive cells (f) were statistically analyzed. Data were calculated as mean ± SE of 25 fields/5 mice/group. ^∗𝑃<0.002 (TUNEL), ^∗𝑃<0.005 (H&E).
