Description

COX-2 protein expression is upregulated by VEGF stimulation in intestinal endothelial cells, and curcumin effectively blocks this induction. Prostaglandin E2 production follows a similar pattern of inhibition.

MAPK signaling pathway activation by VEGF is attenuated by curcumin in a time- and dose-dependent manner. Phosphorylation of ERK, p38, and JNK is markedly reduced in curcumin-treated endothelial cells.
