Curecumin™ Could be an Effective Treatment for Skin Cancer

by Gloria Gamat on May 6th, 2007

On a separate occasion, I mentioned Curecumin™ as treatment for prostate cancer.

Curecumin™ - a product of Bioponic Phytoceuticals, Inc. – is a Bioresonant Phytotherapeutic® form of curcumin in a liquid delivery system.

“The diet-derived cancer preventive agent, curcumin, inhibits skin cancer cell proliferation and tumor formation.

We show that curcumin suppresses the differentiation agent-dependent activation of hINV gene expression and that an AP1 transcription factor DNA binding site in the hINV gene is required for this regulation.

These studies provide important insights regarding the mechanism whereby curcumin acts as a chemopreventive agent in normal human epidermis.”

The said study was conducted at the Departments of Physiology and Biophysics, Dermatology, Biochemistry, Reproductive Biology, and Oncology, at Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine in Cleveland, Ohio.

Results have been published in the Journal of Biological Chemistry.

Find more details from the full report.
