In this study we examined how Oroxylum indicum fruit extracts can be affected the viability and migration of
the human breast cancer cells and the mechanism of actions as well. The results, O. indicum extract strongly
induced MCF-7 cell death in a dose- and time-dependent manner, with IC50 values of 131.3 + 19.2 ug/mL at 48 h.
Moreover, O. indicum extracts also caused a dose-dependent decrease in colony forming ability with IC50 values
of 51.46 + 6.43 ug/mL. Further, O. indicum extract caused reduction of cell viability and induction of MCF-7 cells
apoptosis along with induced ROS formation and increased caspase 3 activity. Moreover, the extracts caused the
inhibition migration accompanied with reduced MMP 9 protein expression and decreased MMP 9 and ICAMP1
gene expression. Furthermore, O. indicum extracts strongly decreased expression of the cell cycle regulatory protein
Rac1. In conclusion, O. indicum extract inhibits breast cancer cells viability and reduces cell migration. It could also
be valuable for augmenting the activity of chemotherapeutic drugs used to treat breast cancer.
