Deciphering the molecular mechanistic paths describing the chemotherapeutic potential and epigenetic regulation of curcumin in lung cancer: a mini review.
Naunyn-Schmiedeberg's Archives of Pharmacology 2023 November 21
In an uncontrolled inflammatory environment, the complex process of lung carcinogenesis occurs. Lung cancer remains the leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide. The average 5-year survival rate is still low despite significant advancements in our knowledge of lung carcinogenesis and the development of innovative therapies in recent decades. Research on adjuvant treatment, lung carcinogenesis pathways, and possible prognostic indicators has to be refocused using an innovative approach. The majority of lung cancers are discovered at an advanced stage when there is little chance of recovery. It has grown in popularity in recent years to supplement already available chemotherapeutic therapies with adjuvant herbal medications, which may lessen toxicity and adverse effects without sacrificing therapeutic efficiency. One such prospective contender is curcumin. In-depth research has been done on curcumin as a multi-target anti-tumor and anti-inflammatory molecule. A pharmacologically active polyphenol produced from turmeric is called curcumin. Over the past few decades, curcumin's therapeutic potential has been thoroughly studied, and data indicate that curcumin may play a part in a variety of biological processes, most notably its potent anticancer activity. Being a pleiotropic chemical, curcumin regulates a variety of molecules that are key players in many cell signaling pathways. It has been shown to stifle transformation, restrain proliferation, and trigger apoptosis. Curcumin can reduce the development of non-small cell LC by downregulating Circular RNA hsa_circ_0007580, which in turn controls the expression of integrin subunit beta 1 by adsorbing miR-384. Nevertheless, despite all these advantages, curcumin's effectiveness is still restricted because of its weak bioavailability, poor absorption within the systemic circulation, and quick removal from the body. In an effort to overcome these constraints, scientists from all around the world are working to develop a synthetic and improved curcuminoid by appropriately altering the parent skeleton structurally. These curcuminoids will simultaneously improve the physicochemical properties and efficacy. This review presents evidence from the most recent clinical trials coupled with the molecular mechanisms of curcumin in LC. Curcumin as inhibitor of multiple signaling pathways expressed in lung cancer.
