Our results provide evidence that EEFP may induce hepatotoxicity through various pathways. Furthermore, our study demonstrates changes in protein regulation using iTRAQ quantitative proteomics analysis. Glioblastoma is the deadliest neoplasm with the worst 5-year survival rate among all human cancers. Autophagy promotes autophagic cell death or blocks the induction of apoptosis in eukaryotic cells. Here, we investigated whether varying levels of autophagic flux in glioblastoma lead to different efficacies of curcumin treatment using U87MG and A172 human glioblastoma cells. The number of LC3 puncta, the number of cells with LC3 puncta and the level of LC3 II, Atg5 and Atg7 protein were higher in U87MG cells compared with A172 cells. When the cells were incubated with curcumin for 24 or 48 h, the percentage of cell death was higher in A172 cells compared with U87MG cells. Although the level of LC3 was lower, that of curcumin-induced LC3 was higher, in A172 cells than in U87MG cells. The relative increases in cell death and LC3-mediated autophagy were greater under serum starvation in A172 cells compared with U87MG cells. Curcumin-induced A172 cell death was reduced by serum starvation. When both types of cells were transfected with LC3-GFP, the percentage of cell death was higher in A172 cells than that in U87MG cells. Taken together, the data demonstrate that curcumin-mediated tumor cell death is regulated by the basal level of autophagic flux in different glioblastoma cells. This suggests that prior to the use of various curcumin therapeutics, the level of basal or induced autophagic flux should be carefully examined in tumor cel
