Abstract:	Background/Purpose: Previously, we successfully identified oral cancer stem cells (OCSC) displaying enhanced stemness and tumorigenic potentials. In the study, we investigated the chemotherapeutic effect of the flavonoid luteolin, commonly found in fruits and vegetables, on targeting OCSC. Methods: Oralspheres was applied to isolate OCSC. aldehyde dehydrogenase 1 activity and CD44 positivity of OCSC with luteolin treatment were assessed by flow cytometry analysis. Radio-sensitivity of OCSC treated with luteolin was examined. Invasion and colony-forming assays were performed to assess oncogenicity in OCSC. The expression of interleukin-6 (IL-6)/ signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) was examined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and western blot analysis. Results: We showed that luteolin effectively inhibited the proliferation rate, self-renewal, aldehyde dehydrogenase 1 activity, and CD44 positivity of OCSC but did not cause significant cytotoxicity of normal epithelial cells. Moreover, luteolin restored radio-sensitivity in OCSC. Combined treatment with luteolin and radiation displayed synergistic effect on invasiveness and clonogenicity of OCSC. Mechanistically, treatment of luteolin resulted in inactivation of IL-6/STAT3 signaling. Conclusion: These results suggest that combined treatment of luteolin and radiation therapy can attenuate tumorigenicity of OCSC through IL-6/STAT3 signaling inactivation.
