Curcumin suppresses proliferation of EBV-positive NPC cells. (a) Chemical structure of curcumin. HONE1 (b), HK1-EBV (c), HUVE (d), and HK2 (e) cells were treated with DMSO (vehicle control) or curcumin (5 μM, 10 μM, 20 μM, or 40 μM) for 24 h and 48 h, respectively. Cell proliferation was assessed using the CCK-8. Compared with the vehicle control (0.006% DMSO) group, , .
