- 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


ASC, Apoptosis-associated Speck-like protein containing a CARD: Click to Expand ⟱
Source:
Type:
ASC (Apoptosis-associated Speck-like protein containing a CARD, also known as PYCARD) – ASC is a key adaptor molecule in the assembly of inflammasomes—a multiprotein complex that activates caspase-1.
– Beyond its inflammasome functions, ASC has been implicated in mediating apoptosis.

– In some cancers, ASC expression is downregulated, which may impair inflammasome assembly and promote immune evasion, whereas in other tumor types, elevated ASC has been reported, sometimes reflecting a heightened local inflammatory state.
– Studies indicate that reduced ASC expression in certain tumor types (for example, melanoma or colon cancer) can correlate with decreased inflammasome activity, potentially leading to immune evasion and a more aggressive tumor phenotype.
– Conversely, in some cancers an upregulation or persistent activation of ASC-containing inflammasomes has been linked to a pro-inflammatory milieu that might drive tumor progression and metastasis.
