Objective To investigate the effect of curcumin on the expression regulation of endogenousβ-glucoronidase (β-GD) induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS).Methods ① Human normal intrahepatic biliary epithelial cell line (HiBEpiC) cells in the logarithmic growth phase were divided into blank control group (0 h group) and 7 different stimulation time groups. The cell density was adjusted to 1×104/mL, and the cells were stimulated with 100 mg/mL LPS for 1, 3, 6, 18, and 24 hours respectively, including another two groups where the cells were cultured with LPS-free medium for 18 and 24 hours after LPS stimulation for 24 h. ② HiBEpiC cells in the logarithmic growth phase were divided into blank control group, LPS+low, medium, and high concentration curcumin group. The cell density was adjusted to 1×104/mL. In the blank control group, cells were not stimulated with any reagent; in the LPS group, cells were stimulated with 100 mg/mL LPS, in the other three groups, the cells were stimulated with 100 mg/mL LPS and simultaneously 20, 40, and 80 μmol/L curcumin, respectively, for 24 hours. The expressions of c-myc and endogenous β-GD were detected by Western blot method.Results ① The expressions of endogenous β-GD and c-myc in HiBEpiC cells gradually increased with the prolongation of treatment time by LPS, and the expression levels of β-GD and c-myc at each time point group were significantly different from those in the 0 h group (P<0.05). ② There were significant difference between any two groups of the blank control group, LPS group, LPS+low concentration of curcumin group, LPS+medium concentration of curcumin group, and LPS+high concentration of curcumin group (P<0.05).Conclusion Curcumin is able to inhibit the increased expression of endogenous β-GD induced by LPS, possibly via inhibiting expression of c-myc.
