| Popis: | Cancer is a major health problem in dogs. Types of cancer seen in dogs include melanoma, Non-Hodgkin lymphoma, osteosarcoma, soft tissue sarcomas and prostate, breast, lung and colorectal carcinomas. Osteosarcoma (OSA) is the most common malignant primary bone tumor in domestic dogs. It constitutes 85% of skeletal tumors. It is derived from primitive bone cells that occur in both the appendicular (~75%) and axial (~25%) skeleton. The present study was intended to determine the cytotoxic and apoptotic effects of curcumin administration at certain doses and in certain periods on D-17 canine osteosarcoma cells. Canine osteosarcoma cells were treated with curcumin and the effects of it on proliferation were determined by WST-1, apoptosis by caspase 3/7 activity (MuseCaspase 3/7) and the ratio of proapoptotic Bax gene to antiapoptotic Bcl-2 gene expression level by qRT-PCR. Our data demonstrated that curcumin decreased cell proliferation and viability, ultimately inducing caspase 3/7 mediated apoptosis in treated D-17 canine osteosarcoma cells. Furthermore, the application of curcumin on canine osteosarcoma cells downregulated the expression of Bcl-2 and upregulated the expression of proapoptotic gene Bax. Thus, these results may provide a basis for further study of curcumin in the treatment of canine osteosarcoma. |
