Other cancers Breast cancer, Colon cancer, Liver cancer
Target gene or protein H2AX, Cyclin D1, p21, Cdc25A
Gene or Protein evidence The strongest anti-leukemic activity was shown by the methanol extract, which contained apigenin, baicalein, chrysin, luteolin and wogonin, with an IpC50 of 43 microg/ml which correlated with cyclin D1- and Cdc25A suppression and p21 induction. At 132 microg/ml this extract caused genotoxic stress indicated by substantial phosphorylation of the core histone H2AX.
Target pathways Blocks the PI3K/Akt/survivin signal pathways in MCF-7 cells Causes downregulation of the Akt-mediated canonical Wnt signaling pathway
IC50 At 48h, 72h: 92.12± 3.47 µM, 71.32± 2.74 µM against MCF-7
Potency This study demonstrated that free flavones showed potent anti-influenza, anti-cancer and anti-oxidative activities.
Cell line/ mice model MCF-7, MDA?MB?231, MCF-7/DOX,SKBR-3, HepG2, SW480 and MCF-7
Additional information  Exhibits pro-apoptotic effect through the activation of ERK and the activation of caspases (MCF-7) Reverses drug resistance by down-regulating Nrf2-mediated cellular defense response (DOX resistant MCF-7: MCF-7/DOX cells) Inhibits the 5?LO/BLT2/ERK/IL?8/MMP?9 signaling cascade (MDA?MB?231 cells) Supresses the LPS?driven MDA?MB?231 cell metastasis (IN VIVO) Causes upregulation of PARP and Caspase 3 cleavages, and proapoptotic Bax protein, Supresse Akt activity and reduces phosphorylation of its substrates, GSK-3beta and p27, downregulates ER expression in ER-positive cells, and supresses c-ErbB2 expression and its activity in ER-negative SK-BR-3 cells
