Curcumol improves cisplatin sensitivity of human gastric cancer cells through inhibiting PI3K / AKT pathway

Background Curcumol was presented to unleash antitumor effects in a variety of cancers, including gastric cancer. However, the relevance between curcumol and cisplatin resistance in gastric cancer still remains unclear. Therefore, the current research was performed to survey the role of curcumol in cisplatin sensitivity in gastric cancer. Methods First, BGC‐823 and BGC‐823/DDP cells were incubated with cisplatin for 48 hr and...
