Myricetin is a commonly found dietary flavonoid. In the present study, we investigated the effects of myricetin on migration and invasion of radioresistant lung cancer cells (A549‐IR). Transcriptome analysis of A549‐IR cells identified several differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in A549‐IR cells compared to parental A549 cells. Functional enrichment analysis revealed that most of the DEGs were linked with PI3K‐AKT signaling, proteoglycans, focal adhesion, and ECM–receptor interactions. A549‐IR cells demonstrated enhanced migratory potential with increased expression of vimentin, snail and slug, and reduced expression of E‐cadherin. A549‐IR cells exposed to myricetin displayed reduced migration and suppressed MMP‐2 and MMP‐9 expression. Notably, myricetin inhibited the phosphorylation of focal adhesion kinase (FAK) and altered the F‐actin/G‐actin ratio in A549‐IR cells, without modulation of EMT markers. These findings suggest that myricetin can inhibit migration of A549‐IR cells by suppressing MMP‐2 and MMP‐9 expressions through inhibition of the FAK‐ERK signaling pathway.
