Figure 1From: Nicotine-induced survival signaling in lung cancer cells is dependent on their p53 status while its down-regulation by curcumin is independentNicotine induces more proliferation in H1299 than in A549, which is down regulated by curcumin. (A-B) The cells were treated with nicotine and/or curcumin for 72 h and 24 h respectively for MTT assay and thymidine incorporation assay. Tritiated thymidine (0.5 μCi/well) was added 6 h before the completion of incubation. All error bars indicate standard deviation between three independent experiments.Back to article page
