Curcumin (diferuloylmethane) is a well known antioxidant that exerts anti-proliferative and apoptotic effects. The effects of curcumin were evaluated in a breast cancer model that was developed with the immortalized breast epithelial cell line, MCF-10F after exposure to low doses of high LET (linear energy transfer) a particles (150 keV/mu m) of radiation, and subsequently cultured in the presence of 17 beta-estradiol (estrogen). This model consisted of human breast epithelial cells in different stages of transformation: i) a control cell line, MCF-10F, ii) an estrogen-treated cell line, named Estrogen, iii) a malignant cell line, named Alpha3 and iv) a malignant and tumorigenic, cell line named Alpha5. Curcumin decreased the formation of hydrogen peroxide in the control MCF-10F, Estrogen and Alpha5 cell lines in comparison to their counterparts. Curcumin had little effect on NF kappa B (50 kDa) but decreased the protein expression in the Estrogen cell line in comparison to their counterparts. Curcumin enhanced manganese superoxide dismutase (MnSOD) protein expression in the MCF-10F and Alpha3 cell lines. Results indicated that catalase protein expression increased in curcumin treated-Alpha3 and Alpha5 cell lines. Curcumin slightly decreased lipid peroxidation in the MCF-10F cell lines, but significantly (P
