1 RT-PCR evaluations performed in MCF-7 and MCF-7R showed that curcumin or MR 39 produced early modifications in the amounts of relevant gene transcripts, which, however, were mostly diverse (i.e. represented by decreases in IAPs and COX-2 in MCF-7R versus reductions in Bcl-2 and Bcl-XL as well as increases in the Bcl-XS/Bcl-XL ratio in MCF-7) in the two cell lines.
