Curcumin has shown some promise in prevention of oral carcinogenesis by mechanism(s) that are still not completely resolved. Messenger-RNA translation is mediated in eukaryotes by the eIF4F complex comprised of eukaryotic translation initiation factors eIF4E, eIF4G, and eIF4A. Over expression of some of these components or inactivation of initiation repressor proteins (4E-BP1) has been implicated in cancer development including oral carcinogenesis by affecting cell survival, angiogenesis, and tumor growth and invasion. In this study, we examined the possibility that curcumin affects the translational machinery differently in normal, immortalized normal, leukoplakia and malignant cells. Curcumin treatment in vitro inhibited the growth of immortalized oral mucosa epithelial cells (NOM9-CT) and the leukoplakia cells (MSK-Leuk1s) as well as in the UMSCC22B and SCC4 cells derived from head and neck squamous cell carcinoma. Curcumin only exerted minor effects on the growth of normal oral epithelial cells (NOM9). In the immortalized, leukoplakia and cancer cells, curcumin inhibited cap-dependent translation by suppressing the phosphorylation of 4E-BP1, eIF4G, eIF4B and Mnk1, and also reduced the total levels of eIF4E and Mnk1. Our findings demonstrate that immortalized normal, leukoplakia and malignant oral cells are more sensitive to curcumin and show greater modulation of protein translation machinery than the normal oral cells indicating that targeting this process may be an important approach to chemoprevention in general and for curcumin in particular.
