- Selectivity: Cancer Cells vs Normal Cells

Luteolin — Cancer vs Normal Cell Effects
Rank Pathway / Axis Cancer Cells Normal Cells Label Primary Interpretation Notes
1 PI3K → AKT → mTOR axis ↓ AKT / ↓ mTOR signaling ↔ adaptive suppression Driver Loss of survival and growth signaling Luteolin consistently suppresses PI3K/AKT signaling, explaining growth inhibition and apoptosis sensitization
2 NF-κB signaling ↓ NF-κB activation ↓ inflammatory NF-κB tone Driver Suppression of inflammatory survival transcription NF-κB inhibition is a core, repeatedly observed luteolin effect
3 Reactive oxygen species (ROS) ↑ ROS (context- & dose-dependent) ↓ ROS / buffered Conditional Driver Biphasic redox modulation Luteolin can act as a pro-oxidant in cancer cells while remaining antioxidant in normal cells
4 Mitochondrial integrity / intrinsic apoptosis ↓ ΔΨm; ↑ caspase activation ↔ preserved Secondary Execution of intrinsic apoptosis Mitochondrial apoptosis follows signaling and redox stress
5 STAT3 signaling ↓ STAT3 activation ↔ minimal Secondary Loss of proliferative and stemness signaling STAT3 suppression contributes to reduced invasion and CSC traits
6 Cell cycle regulation ↑ G1 or G2/M arrest ↔ spared Phenotypic Cytostatic growth control Cell-cycle arrest reflects upstream pathway inhibition
7 Migration / invasion (EMT, MMP axis) ↓ migration & invasion ↔ Phenotypic Anti-metastatic phenotype Reduced EMT and protease activity limit invasiveness


IL8, Interleukin-8: Click to Expand ⟱
Source:
Type:
Interleukin-8 (IL-8), also known as CXCL8, is a chemokine primarily involved in the recruitment and activation of neutrophils. Its role in cancer is significant, as it can influence tumor growth, metastasis, and the tumor microenvironment.
IL-8 is a chemokine frequently produced in the tumor microenvironment by human malignant cells. IL-8 plays key roles in the immunobiology of human malignancies and resistance to treatments. Circulating IL-8 concentration reflects tumor burden.

In many cancers have elevated levels of IL-8 and are associated with increased tumor aggressiveness, metastasis, and poorer overall survival. Elevated IL-8 often correlates with a more inflammatory tumor microenvironment, which can facilitate tumor progression.
