The Hypomethylation Agent Bisdemethoxycurcumin Acts on the WIF-1 Promoter, Inhibits the Canonical Wnt Pathway and Induces Apoptosis in Human Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer
1 Nov 2011
Abstract excerpt
Hypermethylation of the Wnt inhibitory factor-1 (WIF-1) promoter has been implicated in the overactivation of the Wnt pathway in human lung cancer. Curcuminoids exert anti-cancer effects and have been reported to act as hypomethylating agents. Previously, we have investigated and compared the demethylation effects of three curcuminoids and observed that bisdemethoxycurcumin exhibited the strongest demethylation...
