cancer

Function

Signaling pathway

Liver cancer

Resist proliferation, migration and invasion, induce apoptosis, attenuate ROS and inflammation

VEGF, MAPK, caspase 3

Lung cancer

Promote apoptosis and ER stress, induce autophagic cell death, induce mitotic catastrophe, enhance chemotherapeutic effects, resist proliferation, suppress migration and invasion

PI3K/AKT/mTOR, Caspase 3, TRAIL, MAPK

Oral cancer

Induce apoptosis and autophagy, promote ER stress and ROS, suppress proliferation

cytochrome c, AIF and ENDO G, caspase 3, Met/Src

Gastric cancer

Reduce proliferation, induce apoptosis and ROS

CDK, ERK

Ovarian cancer

Induce apoptosis, reduce proliferation

 

Prostate cancer

Inhibit the viability and colony formation, promote apoptosis, enhance chemotherapeutic effects, induce autophagic cell death, resist proliferation

β-tubulin, PI3K/Akt, JNK, mTOR, TRAIL, YB-1, MMP-2/9

Breast cancer

Promote apoptosis and invasion and metastasis, enhance chemotherapeutic effects, induce autophagy

PI3K/Akt/mTOR, PARP. HO-1, caspase-3, PTEN/Akt/GSK3β, HER2/neu, PKC/ROS/MAPK, p53, caspase-7, -8 and -9

Colorectal cancer

Enhance radiosensitivity, induce apoptosis, suppress proliferation, resist angiogenesis

AKT, COX, Wnt/EGFR/NF-κB, p53

Osteosarcoma

Inhibit proliferation, enhance chemotherapeutic effects

 

Renal cancer

Induce apoptosis, inhibit proliferation and invasion

P53, TET1, 5hmC
