Triple-negative breast cancer is an aggressive subtype of breast cancer with poor clinical outcomes and poor prognosis. Hesperetin is an active component extracted from Citrus fruits and Traditional Chinese Medicine has a wide range of pharmacological effects. Here, we assessed the anti-migration and anti-invasive effects and explored inhibitory mechanisms of hesperetin on metastasis of human triple negative breast cancer MDA-MB-231 cells. Cell viability experiments revealed that 200 μM hesperetin has a clear inhibitory effect on MDA-MB-231 cells. TGF-β1 treatment induces apparent tumor progression in MDA-MB-231 cells including aberrant wound-healing and invasion ability, which is effectively suppressed by hesperetin co-treatment. Additionally, hesperetin inhibited the TGF-β1-mediated actin stress fiber formation. Western blot results showed that hesperetin suppressed the TGF-β1-mediated (i) activation of Fyn, (ii) phosphorylation of paxillin at Y31, Y88, and Y118 sites, (iii) the increased expression of RhoA, and (iv) activation of Rho-kinase. We demonstrated the increased interaction of Fyn with paxillin and RhoA protein in the TGF-β1-induced metastasis of MDA-MB-231 cells. Small interfering RNA Fyn inhibited phosphorylation of paxillin (Y31) and activation of Rho-kinase induced by TGF-β1. In conclusion, hesperetin has a significant inhibitory effect on migration and invasion of MDA-MB-231 cells induced by TGF-β1, which might be attributed to inhibiting the Fyn/paxillin/RhoA pathway.
