Curcumin Downregulates Human GM3 Synthase (hST3Gal V) Gene Expression with Autophagy Induction in Human Colon Carcinoma HCT116 Cells

Figure 7

Effect of 3-MA on curcumin-induced hST3Gal V gene expression in HCT116 cells. HCT116 cells were preincubated with or without 3-MA (10 mM) for 3 h and then incubated with curcumin (0, 30, 50 μM) for 24 h. The hST3Gal V mRNA levels were analyzed by RT-PCR using the extracted total RNAs. The abundance of β-actin mRNA was also analyzed as an internal standard.
