Rep Power: 35 | curcumin, inhibits skin cancer cell proliferation and tumor formation Research Suggests Curecumin(TM) May Be an Effective Treatment for Skin Cancer Posted on : 2007-05-03 | Author : Bioponic Phytoceuticals, Inc. News Category : PressRelease KULA, Maui, Hawaii, May 3 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Bioponic Phytoceuticals, Inc. ("Bioponic" or "the Company") today announced that its Curecumin(TM) (a Bioresonant Phytotherapeutic(R) form of curcumin in a liquid delivery system) may be an important treatment for Skin Cancer. In a recent study published in the Journal of Biological Chemistry, "Curcumin Suppresses AP1 Transcription Factor-dependent Differentiation and Activates Apoptosis in Human Epidermal Keratinocytes," conducted at the Departments of Physiology and Biophysics, Dermatology, Biochemistry, Reproductive Biology, and Oncology, at Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine in Cleveland, Ohio. Scientists concluded, "The diet-derived cancer preventive agent, curcumin, inhibits skin cancer cell proliferation and tumor formation ... We show that curcumin suppresses the differentiation agent-dependent activation of hINV gene expression and that an AP1 transcription factor DNA binding site in the hINV gene is required for this regulation ... These studies provide important insights regarding the mechanism whereby curcumin acts as a chemopreventive agent in normal human epidermis." According to the Skin Cancer Foundation, "Basal cell carcinoma is the most common form of skin cancer, and affects more than 800,000 Americans each year. Squamous cell carcinoma, the second most common skin cancer, afflicts more than 250,000 Americans each year." All statements other than statements of historical fact included in this press release are "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of federal securities laws. Such forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, some of which are beyond the Company's control. Bioponic Phytoceuticals, Inc.
