The Antitumor Effect of Curcumin in Urothelial Cancer Cells Is Enhanced by Light Exposure In Vitro

Figure 3

Induction of apoptotic events. RT112, UMUC3, and TCCSUP cells were exposed to 0.1 or 0.4 μg/ml curcumin alone or with curcumin plus visible light. Early and late apoptosis was evaluated as indicated in methods. (a) The number of control cells was set to 100%. indicates significant difference to control, p ≤ 0.05. (b) Dot blot of one representative test on UMUC3 cells.
