Fisetin effect on Cancer Cells
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 Fisetin consistently suppresses pro-survival PI3K/AKT signaling, supporting growth inhibition and sensitization to stress
2 NF-κB signaling ↓ NF-κB activation ↓ inflammatory NF-κB tone Driver Suppression of inflammatory survival transcription NF-κB inhibition contributes to anti-inflammatory effects and reduced tumor-supportive signaling
3 Reactive oxygen species (ROS) ↑ ROS (context- & dose-dependent) ↓ ROS Conditional Driver Biphasic redox modulation Fisetin can act as a pro-oxidant in cancer cells at higher stress/dose while remaining antioxidant in normal cells
4 Mitochondrial integrity / intrinsic apoptosis ↓ ΔΨm; ↑ caspase activation ↔ preserved Secondary Execution of intrinsic apoptosis Mitochondrial apoptosis occurs downstream of signaling and redox disruption
5 Cell cycle regulation ↑ G1 or G2/M arrest ↔ spared Phenotypic Cytostatic growth control Cell-cycle arrest reflects upstream pathway inhibition rather than direct CDK blockade
6 Senescence / senolytic action ↑ senescence clearance (senescent-like tumor/stroma subsets) ↓ senescent cell burden (selective) Secondary Selective vulnerability of senescent-like cells Fisetin is commonly described as senolytic; in cancer context this may impact tumor microenvironment and therapy-induced senescence
7 MAPK stress signaling (JNK / p38) ↑ JNK / ↑ p38 (context-dependent) ↔ minimal Secondary Stress-mediated apoptosis signaling MAPK activation often follows ROS increase and supports apoptotic signaling
8 NRF2 antioxidant response ↑ NRF2 (adaptive, context-dependent) ↑ NRF2 (protective) Adaptive Stress compensation NRF2 activation reflects redox buffering responses rather than primary cytotoxicity
9 Migration / invasion (EMT, MMP axis) ↓ migration & invasion Phenotypic Anti-metastatic phenotype Reduced EMT and protease activity limit invasive behavior downstream of signaling changes


CHOP, GADD153: Click to Expand ⟱
Source:
Type: Protein
GADD153 and CHOP (C/EBP-homologous protein) refer to the same protein. GADD153 stands for "Growth Arrest and DNA Damage-inducible protein 153," while CHOP stands for "C/EBP Homologous Protein."
DDIT3 (DNA Damage Inducible Transcript 3), also known as CHOP (C/EBP Homologous Protein), is a transcription factor that plays a significant role in the cellular response to stress, particularly in the context of the unfolded protein response (UPR) and apoptosis.

CHOP is an important component of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress response. Research has shown that knockdown of CHOP not only enhances tunicamycin-induced autophagy, but also significantly attenuates ER stress-induced apoptosis in human colon cancer cells.
GADD153, also known as CHOP (C/EBP homologous protein), is a transcription factor that plays a significant role in cellular stress responses, particularly in the context of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress response. It is part of the unfolded protein response (UPR), which is activated when there is an accumulation of misfolded proteins in the ER.
