Abstract
Curcumin, the yellow pigment of the rhizome of Curcuma longa is known to inhibit the transcription factors AP-1, Egr-1, NF-kB, c-myc and several important signaling kinases. We therefore investigated the differential effects of curcumin in concn. between 1.5 and 13.6 micro M on gene expression in T Jurkat CD4+ and human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs).

Abstract
Curcumin, the yellow pigment of the rhizome of Curcuma longa is known to inhibit the transcription factors AP-1, Egr-1, NF-kB, c-myc and several important signaling kinases. We therefore investigated the differential effects of curcumin in concn. between 1.5 and 13.6 micro M on gene expression in T Jurkat CD4+ and human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). Relative quantification with reverse transcription real-time PCR (RT-rt-PCR) showed that low concns. of curcumin significantly down-regulated mitogen-induced granulocyte macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF) mRNA (3- to 5-fold at 3 micro M) in a dose- and time-dependent manner in both cell types. In comparison, the down-regulation of inducible nitric oxide (iNOS) mRNA levels was less pronounced, but interferon gamma (IFN-gamma ) mRNA was dose-dependently up-regulated with curcumin concns. up to 8.2 micro M. Cyclin D1 mRNA expression was specifically inhibited in Jurkat T cells and stimulated PBMCs. The transcription factors NF-kB and NF-ATc were not affected in PBMCs. Interleukin-2 (IL-2), and -6 (IL-6) mRNAs levels were not influenced markedly by curcumin in stimulated PBMCs, but significantly reduced in stimulated Jurkat T cells. In addn., cytotoxic effects and down-regulation of mRNAs, including p65 and the house-keeping genes could only be measured in Jurkat T cells. These findings confirm previous reports on the anti-neoplastic potential of curcumin and show that this compd. differentially modulates the expression profile of Th1 cells and PBMCs.
