Anticancer effects of Qu and its underlying molecular mechanisms in non-small cell lung cancer cells have also been studied by Youn et al., wherein Qu was observed to enhance the gene expression linked with death receptor signaling and inhibition of the cell cycle, but reduce the expression of genes involved in activation of Nf-κB. Qu was observed to induce apoptosis by inhibiting nuclear factor-kappa B signaling in H460 lung cancer cells, proving its usefulness in its prevention [65]. The gene discussed is NFKB1; the disease is lung carcinoma.
