Article Title: Curcumin-Loaded Oil-Free Self-Assembled Micelles Inhibit the Influenza A Virus Activity and the Solidification of Curcumin-Loaded Micelles for Pharmaceutical Applications

doi: 10.3390/pharmaceutics14112422

Figure Lengend Snippet: ( A ) Cytotoxicity of curcumin and Cur-M. Cytotoxicity was estimated based on the cell survival rate. In brief, three cell lines (Madin–Darby canine kidney (MDCK), 293T, and A549) commonly used for influenza propagation were treated with various concentrations of curcumin, Cur-M, and DMSO for 24 h. Cell survival rate was monitored by total vital cells counts in each treated group relative to that of mock control sample. Results from three independent experiments were plotted. ( B ) The effect of the micelle on the plaque-forming ability of the influenza virus was initially determined by a time-of-drug-addition assay, in which the tested compounds were added to the culture medium at 16 h prior to infection (pre-treatment, I), at the time of virus infection (co-treatment, II), or after viral adsorption (post-entry treatment, III). ( C ) The effect of curcumin and Cur-M on viral production. MDCK cells were continuously treated with DMSO, 30 μM curcumin, or Cur-M during influenza A virus (IAV, 2000 pfu) infection. At 24 h post-infection (hpi), the yield of viral progenies was determined. The yields relative to the mock treatment from three independent experiments were plotted. Statistically significant differences compared with the DMSO group are indicated by * ( p < 0.05).

Article Snippet: Cells used in this study were purchased from the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC), including Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells (ATCC, ATCCPTA-7909), human A549 cells (ATCC, CCL-185TM), and human embryonic kidney (HEK293T) cells (ATCC, CRL-3216TM).

Figure Lengend Snippet: Curcumin-loaded self-assembled micelles (Cur-M) exerted potent, but distinct, anti-influenza activity. MDCK cells were treated with Dulbecco’s modified eagle’s medium (DMEM, mock control), DMSO (solvent control), curcumin, or Cur-M at various times of influenza A virus (IAV) infection (100 pfu), including pre-treatment (I), co-treatment (II), or post-entry treatment (III). The effect on the plaque-forming ability (infectivity) is shown ( A ), and the results from three independent experiments are plotted ( B ). Statistically significant differences compared with the native curcumin group are indicated by * ( p < 0.05).
