Abstract

Objective: To study the HeLa cell apoptosis induced by curcumin-related compounds and the activity-structure relationship of this compound.Methods: MTT method,morphological observation,agarose gel electrophoresis were performed in this study.Results: Curcumin-related compounds inhibited the growth and induced the apoptosis of HeLa cells.Marked morphological changes,including condensed chromatin,nuclear fragmentation,apoptotic bodies,and DNA ladder in agarose gel,were observed.Conclusion: Curcumin-related compounds could inhibit the apoptosis of HeLa cells,which is correlated with its structure.
