A cationic amino acid polymer nanocarrier synthesized in supercritical CO < sub > 2 < /sub > for co-delivery of drug and gene to cervical cancer cells
Colloids Surf B Biointerfaces. 2022 May 18;216:112584. doi: 10.1016/j.colsurfb.2022.112584. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe present study was undertaken to investigate the ability of a drug curcumin-loaded polymer to inhibit the growth of cervical cancer cells by enhancing the anti-cancer efficiency of curcumin. We synthesized poly(methacryloyl beta-alanine) (PMBA) as a nanocarrier by radical polymerization in supercritical CO2. The results showed that the curcumin encapsulated and folic acid (FA)-treated PMBA (Poly@Cur-FA) for 24 h activated the reactive oxygen species-mediated programmed cell death machinery in HeLa ce...

Curcumin decreases epithelial ‑mesenchymal transition by a Pirin‑dependent mechanism in cervical cancer cells.
Curcumin decreases epithelial‑mesenchymal transition by a Pirin‑dependent mechanism in cervical cancer cells. Oncol Rep. 2019 Aug 21;: Authors: Aedo-Aguilera V, Carrillo-Beltrán D, Calaf GM, Muñoz JP, Guerrero N, Osorio JC, Tapia JC, León O, Contreras HR, Aguayo F Abstract Curcumin is a natural antioxidant polyphenol, which decreases epithelial‑mesenchymal transition (EMT) and cell migration in cervical cancer cells. However, the mechanism by which such a decrease occurs is unclear. It is well established that cervical cancer can be caused by high‑risk human papillomavirus (HPV), which ove...
