A study comparing the effects of curcumin and solid lipid curcumin particles on autophagy and mitophagy in glioblastoma multiforme cells showed that SLCPs demonstrated superior induction of autophagy markers (Atg5, Atg7, Beclin-1, and LC3A/B) compared to Cur in U-87MG, GL261, and F98 GBM cell lines [138]. This evidence concerns the gene BECN1 and glioblastoma.
