Curcumin useful against breast cancer. Nature India
RESEARCH HIGHLIGHTS Curcumin-loaded
gum polymers kill aggressive breast cancer cells
doi:10.1038/nindia.2019.7 Published
online 22 January 2019
Researchers have synthesized
curcumin-loaded gum-polymer-based microspheres that, when attached with folic
acid, can selectively kill an aggressive form of breast cancer cell1. This
could lead to the development of a novel therapy for certain types of breast
cancer. Triple-negative breast cancer cells lack specific receptor cell-surface
proteins. The absence of the receptors endows them with the ability to defy
certain synthetic anticancer drugs. Although curcumin has shown anticancer
potential, it is not readily soluble in biological fluids, limiting its
therapeutic applications. To devise a way to destroy the aggressive breast
cancer cells, scientists from the Jadavpur University and the Bose Institute in
Kolkata, India, made the microspheres using gum polymers isolated from an
acacia tree. They then loaded the microspheres with curcumin and folic acid. Attaching
folic acid enabled the microspheres to selectively bind to cancer cells, such
as triple-negative cells, that express folate receptors. When exposed to
cultured triple-negative breast cancer cells, the microspheres stopped the
proliferation of the cancer cells by inducing apoptosis, a controlled process
of cell death. The researchers found that the acidic environment of the cancer
cells allowed the microspheres to release curcumin, which activated a specific
death-triggering enzyme and blocked the activity of the specific protein known
to prevent cell death. The curcumin-loaded microspheres also significantly
shrank the size of breast tumours in mice, increasing the life-span of the
tumour-bearing mice.
Croatia Branko Markovic: From Ayurved point of view how can Haridra
reduce cancer?
Gary Yuen:
That’s what I’m not sure about. Cancer is generally excess animal products,
breast cancer excess estrogen from animal products, etc. Lack of antioxidants
and so forth. Not sure how to explain that with doshas or other Ayurvedic
concepts.
Vd. Pankaj Chhayani: If we see genetics in causing Cancer ,some of
genes are responsible as per Follow:-
1) Gain of functions ProtoOncogenes
2) loss of function of tumor
suppressor genes
3) gain of functions of antiApoptotic
genes
2) loss of functions of Apoptotic
genes.
3) loss of function of genes those are responsible for repairing
(P53-Gaurdian of genome).-Dysfunctionl DNA repair..
And there are many other genes(or
mechanism like telomerase theory) those are responsible for cancer. There is
some basic characteristics those are required to make a normal cell into
malignant cell.
ESCAPE FROM IMMUNITY is also one characteristics
of cancer cell. So whenever there is problem related to Immunity Curcumin will
be helpful As Curcumin is good immunomodulator . Curcumin can be helpful,
Curcumin can not cure. There are many thoughts regarding Ayurvedic concepts of
Management of Cancer. But it will be irrelevant in current topic.
Dr.Chattwani: Curcurmin and other Phytochemicals detoxify
and deactivate carcinogens and prevent DNA damage., and may prevent
proliferation of damaged cells.
Vd. Nidhi K Patel: Curcumin also used for chickengunia treatment.
Curcumin has been used for centuries in Asia to treat various disorders.
It has been described to possess antiviral ,antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and
antineoplastic activities in vitro and in vivo . It is a natural polyphenol
isolated from turmeric (Curcuma longa). Curcumin's antiviral action is mainly
due to its inhibiting action on virus entry into cells like blocking of
hepatitis C virus (HCV) entry into hepatocytes by curcumin has been described
in studies. Curcumin inhibits chikungunya virus majorly by following
mechanisms - It inhibits virus replication. Reduces virus infectivity. Blocks
binding of virus to cell surface.

Gary Yuen:
Antiviral, antioxidant, and antibiotic activity of turmeric isn't unique to
that plant. It seems countless plants, maybe all in some level have such
properties as their natural need to survive the environment.
It has been shown turmeric's
properties are not unique to curcumin. As an antioxidant, I think turmeric with
curcumin removed works better than curcumin itself. There are now studies
looking into the other components. Any food or herb cannot be isolated.
As a member of the zingiberaceae
family, relative of ginger, ela, and so forth, how does it differ from ginger?
How does it differ from other curcuma species? Khare lists 6 used varieties of
curcuma.

Dr. Rachana Mumbai: Curcumin also has hemostatic activity Years
back and even today whenever there is cut we apply dry curcumin powder to wound
knowing it's antibiotic activity also Our
ancestors learned to apply curcumin powder to fresh cuts
Croatia Branko Markovic: I do the same..also recommend to family and
friends..they are amazed how quickly this works
Gary Yuen:
A related plant, sati which may be curcuma zeodaria is listed as a vegetable in
Caraka su.27. Is there precedent of any curcuma variety, of the leaves or other
plant parts being used?
Some other varieties of curcuma have
other properties such as reducing kapha. Maybe they are more pungent and taste
more like relatives like ginger. Any of them commercially available?
Yes it looks like leaves and flowers
are used by various cultures for many ginger family members including curcuma.
Croatia Branko Markovic: “A spice commonly used in curry could help
erase bad memories, according to a recent study. Scientists found that
curcumin, a bright yellow compound extracted from turmeric, was able to prevent
new fearful memories from being stored in the brain (and also removed
pre-existing fear memories!) Psychologists from The City University of New York
trained rats to become scared when they heard a particular sound. Scientists
assumed the creatures were frightened when they froze. Hours later, when the
same sound was played to the rats, those who had been given ordinary food
froze. Yet the rats fed the curcumin-rich diet didn’t freeze, suggesting their
fearful memories had been erased! Professor Glenn Schafe, who led the study,
said: ‘This suggests that people suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder
and other psychological disorders that are characterized by fearful memories
may benefit substantially from a curcumin-enriched diet.’ Memories are formed
in the brain as new connections between neurons. They are initially fragile,
but gradually stabilize in the brain as they are put into long-term storage: a
process known as consolidation. Here’s the kicker: when established memories
are recalled, they ALSO temporarily destabilize in the brain, becoming like new
memories for a while. This gives you your golden window to heal and recover
from that memory! “If nothing happens, those destabilized fear memories get put
back into long-term storage. In other words, they restabilize, or
reconsolidate,” explained Professor Schafe. “But we’ve learned that we can go
into the brain during that destabilization window and prevent those fear
memories from reconsolidating.” That’s where turmeric comes in. “Effectively,
we can erase them. And that appears to be what we’ve done with a
curcumin-enriched diet.” Curcumin is known to have an anti-inflammatory effect
on the body AND brain. This is important for the future of psychology, as
inflammation has been implicated in psychological disorders such as depression,
anxiety and PTSD.” – Daily Mail, UK
