Cervical carcinoma poses a significant health threat, with traditional treatments proving inadequate in advanced stages. Curcumin, bioactive compound derived from turmeric, exhibits notable anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antineoplastic properties, potentially modulating autophagy, metastasis cancer cells. This study examines curcumin's impact on autophagy cervical carcinoma, focusing its interaction autophagy-related gene 3 (ATG3). SiHa HeLa cell lines were treated curcumin, ATG3 knockdown (shATG3), their combination. Cell migration was evaluated via wound healing assays, while proliferation CCK-8 assays. LC3 expression assessed using immunofluorescence western blotting. Molecular docking simulations identified binding interactions key proteins. Curcumin shATG3 significantly inhibited both proliferation, synergistic effect observed when combined. enhanced, indicating increased autophagy. Docking studies revealed potential to MMP2, MMP9, TGF-β, ATG3, LC3, p62, suggesting modulation of these pathways. The combination curcumin also enhancing supporting the as therapeutic agent for carcinoma. Further clinical research is needed validate findings.

CD133 protein expression is observable in differentiated cells, stem and progenitor cells within normal tissues, as well tumor including colorectal cancer cells. The the predominant cell surface marker utilized to detect exhibiting cell-like characteristics. alters common abnormal processes cancer, such phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (AKT) Wnt/β-catenin pathways. Autophagy a cellular self-digestion mechanism that preserves intracellular milieu plays dual regulatory role cancer. In apoptosis critical death can impede progression. modulate autophagy via several signaling pathways; hence, it involved regulation of these intricate processes. This be an explanation for why associated with enhanced self-renewal, migration, invasion, survival under stress conditions purpose this review article explain complex relationship between protein, apoptosis, autophagy. We also want highlight possible ways CD133-mediated may affect Targeting aforementioned mechanisms have significant therapeutic eliminating CD133-positive cell-phenotype which responsible recurrence.
