Abstract: Background and Objective: Breast cancer is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in economically developing countries such as India. Evidential research is explained about the anticancer properties. The present study investigated curcumin along with the γ-irradiation effect on two different breast cancer cell lines. Materials and Methods: MDA-MB-231 and MCF-7 cell was irradiated with gamma rays prior to the curcumin treatment. A 3-(4,5-Dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay, clonogenic assays and wound healing assays were performed. The results were analyzed with a one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) with the Bonferroni multiple comparison post-test, using In Stat software version 3.00. Results: The results of the MTT assay showed a statistical significance with p>0.001, similarly, clonogenic assay revealed that the curcumin reduced the proliferation rate of cells. Correspondingly, wound healing assay resulted in control of the cell-cell interaction and cell migration at two different time points. Conclusion: In conclusion, curcumin along with a lower dose (8 Gy) of radiation acted as the best combinatorial drug treatment for breast cancer cell lines. Our findings put up a rationale for further clinical/preclinical analysis of combination treatments with a lower dose and fewer side effects in breast cancer.
