Maackiain Modulates miR-374a/GADD45A Axis to Inhibit Triple-Negative Breast Cancer Initiation and Progression.

ABSTRACT: Breast cancer ranks as the leading cause of death in lethal malignancies among women worldwide, with a sharp increase of incidence since 2008. Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) gives rise to the largest proportion in breast cancer-related deaths because of its aggressive growth and rapid metastasis. Hence, searching for promising targets and innovative approaches is indispensable for the TNBC treatment. Maackiain (MA), a natural compound with multiple biological activities, could be isolated from different Chinese herbs, such as Spatholobus suberectus and Sophora flavescens. It was the first time to report the anti-cancer effect of MA in TNBC. MA could suppress TNBC cell proliferation, foci formation, migration, and invasion. MA also exerted a significant inhibitory effect
