Table 2. Distinctive mechanisms of different forms of VK that triggers programmed cell death by apoptosis.

Different forms of Vitamin K	Cancer/Cancer Cell	Target molecule
VK	Pancreatic cancer	Caspase dependent apoptosis via the MAP kinase pathway [127]
VK2	Leukemia Leukemia and hepatocellular carcinoma	G0/G1 arrest along with Apoptosis [116] BaK mediated apoptosis [118] Regulating MMP [120] JNK cascade and FasL [126]
VK3	Leukemia	Fas/FasL [102]
VK3 + Vitamin C	Leukemia	ROS, NF-kB [113]
VK3 + Vitamin D-Fraction	Renal cell carcinoma	G0/G1 arrest along with Apoptosis [75]
