OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of curcumin on STAT 5 signaling molecule in K562 cells and its molecular mechanism of antileukemia. METHODS: Cell proliferation was studied by tetrazolium dye assay. The expressions of STAT5 mRNA and protein were assayed by in situ hybridization, and Western blotting respectively. RESULTS: Curcumin could inhibit K562 cell proliferation in a time- and dose-dependent manner. The percentage of STAT5-positive cells was 19% in curcunin group, significantly less than 31% of that in K562 cell group (P < 0.01). The A value of the expression level of STAT5 protein in curcumin group was 15 266 +/- 769, significantly less than 25 781 +/- 1240 of that in K562 cell group (P < 0.01). CONCLUSION: The expressions of STAT5 mRNA and protein in K562 cells were inhibited by curcumin and curcumin could inhibit K562 cell proliferation.
