Abstract

Abstract: Nonsmall cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) is a devastating primary lung tumor resistant to conventional therapies. Bisdemethoxycurcumin (BDMC) is one of curcumin derivate from Turmeric and has been shown to induce NSCLC cell death. Although there is one report to show BDMC induced DNA double strand breaks, however, no available information to show BDMC induced DNA damage action with inhibited DNA repair protein in lung cancer cells in detail. In this study, we tested BDMC‐induced DNA damage and condensation in NCI‐H460 cells by using Comet assay and DAPI staining examinations, respectively and we found BDMC induced DNA damage and condension. Western blotting was used to examine the effects of BDMC on protein expression associated with DNA damage and repair and results indicated that BDMC suppressed the protein levels associated with DNA damage and repair, such as 14‐3‐3σ (an important checkpoint keeper of DDR), O6‐methylguanine‐DNA methyltransferase, DNA repair proteins breast cancer 1, early onset, mediator of DNA damage checkpoint 1 but activate phosphorylated p53 and p‐H2A.X (phospho Ser140) in NCI‐H460 cells. Confocal laser systems microscopy was used for examining the protein translocation and results show that BDMC increased the translocation of p‐p53 and p‐H2A.X (phospho Ser140) from cytosol to nuclei in NCI‐H460 cells. In conclusion, BDMC induced DNA damage and condension and affect DNA repair proteins in NCI‐H460 cells in vitro . © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Environ Toxicol 31: 1859–1868, 2016.
