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


Casp12, Caspase-12: Click to Expand ⟱
Source:
Type:
Caspase-12: a member of the caspase family, a group of cysteine proteases that play a crucial role in programmed cell death, also known as apoptosis. Caspase-12 is specifically involved in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress-induced apoptosis pathway.
On one hand, caspase-12 can act as a tumor suppressor by promoting apoptosis in response to ER stress, which can occur in cancer cells due to their high metabolic rate and increased demand for protein synthesis.

On the other hand, some studies have suggested that caspase-12 can also contribute to cancer progression and resistance to chemotherapy. For example, caspase-12 can be inactivated in certain types of cancer, such as breast and lung cancer, which can lead to reduced apoptosis and increased tumor growth.
Role of Caspase-12:
Function: Caspase-12 is involved in the apoptotic pathway triggered by ER stress. It can activate downstream effector caspases, leading to apoptosis. It also plays a role in the inflammatory response by processing pro-inflammatory cytokines.
Location: Unlike many other caspases, caspase-12 is primarily localized in the cytosol and the ER.
