Curcumin Inhibits Heat-Induced Apoptosis by Suppressing NADPH Oxidase 2 and Activating the Akt/mTOR Signaling Pathway in Bronchial Epithelial Cells

Curcumin Inhibits Heat-Induced Apoptosis by Suppressing NADPH Oxidase 2 and Activating the Akt/mTOR Signaling Pathway in Bronchial Epithelial Cells

Background: Heat causes bronchial epithelial cell apoptosis, which is a known factor contributing to airway damage during inhalation injury. Accumulating evidence has shown the effect of curcumin on inhibiting apoptosis. In this study, we investigated whether curcumin suppresses heat-induced apoptos...
