The chemopreventive agent curcumin has anti-proliferative effects in many tumour types, but characterization of cell cycle arrest, particularly with physiologically relevant concentrations, is still incomplete. Following oral ingestion, the highest concentrations of curcumin are achievable in the gut. Although it has been established that curcumin induces arrest at the G(2)/M stage of the cell cycle in colorectal cancer lines, it is not clear whether arrest occurs at the G(2)/M transition or in mitosis. To elucidate the precise stage of arrest, we performed a direct comparison of the levels of curcumin-induced G(2)/M boundary and mitotic arrest in eight colorectal cancer lines (Caco-2, DLD-1, HCA-7, HCT116p53+/+, HCT116p53(-/-), HCT116p21(-/-), HT-29 and SW480). Flow cytometry confirmed that these lines underwent G(2)/M arrest following treatment for 12 h with clinically relevant concentrations of curcumin (5-10 mu M). In all eight lines, the majority of this arrest occurred at the G(2)/M transition, with a proportion of cells arresting in mitosis. Examination of the mitotic index using fluorescence microscopy showed that the HCT116 and Caco-2 lines exhibited the highest levels of curcumin-induced mitotic arrest. Image analysis revealed impaired mitotic progression in all lines, exemplified by mitotic spindle abnormalities and defects in chromosomal congression. Pre-treatment with inhibitors of the DNA damage signalling pathway abrogated curcumin-induced mitotic arrest, but had little effect at the G(2)/M boundary. Moreover, pH2A.X staining seen in mitotic, but not interphase, cells suggests that this aberrant mitosis results in DNA damage.
