Casticin is a flavonol isolated from A. annua, V. trifolia, and V. agnus-castus that decreases proliferation in K562, HL-60, and Kasumi-1 leukemia cell lines (IC50s = 5.95, 4.82, and 15.56 µM, respectively).{38024} It blocks TGF-?/SMAD signaling in LX2 cells preventing activation, inhibiting proliferation, and inducing apoptosis of these hepatic stellate cells.{38025} In a mouse model of liver fibrosis, casticin (20 mg/kg) decreases TGF-?1 mRNA and phosphorylated SMAD (p-SMAD) levels. Casticin induces apoptosis in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and breast cancer cells.{27628,27627} It also downregulates Twist and prevents the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in human HCC SMMC-7721 cells.{27268}
