From: Curcumin upregulates transforming growth factor-β1, its receptors, and vascular endothelial growth factor expressions in an in vitro human gingival fibroblast wound healing model

Fig. 3

Curcumin induced transforming growth factor (TGF)-β1 (a), type I TGF-β receptor (TGF-βRI) (b), type II TGF-β receptor (TGF-βRII) (c), and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) (d) expression in human gingival fibroblasts in the in vitro wound healing model. Cells were seeded at 6 × 105 cells per plate, scratched after monolayer formation, and treated with 1 µM curcumin for 24 h. Gene expression was determined by quantitative polymerase chain reaction. The data are presented as the mean ± standard deviation. *p < 0.05 compared to the control group
