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

Figure 6

Inhibition of UVB-induced activation of NF-κB, COX-2, NO, and PGE2 expressions by CUR. Skin lysates were analyzed for NF-κB, COX-2, NO, and PGE2 activities (a) NF-κB; (b) COX-2; (c) NO; and (d) PGE2. Activities were calculated as mean ± SE (𝑛=5). ^∗𝑃<0.002 (NF-κB), ^∗𝑃<0.005 (COX-2), ^∗𝑃<0.001 (NO), ^∗𝑃<0.002 (PGE2).
