Molecular mechanisms of the 6-combination inhibitory actions on cell migration, invasion and induction of cell apoptosis in MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 cell lines Cells were treated with the 6-combination for 48 hrs, protein lysates were collected and examined by western blot analysis as described under methods. All bands were quantified and normalized against β-Actin that was used as loading Control. Top panel: Synergistic down-regulation of cell proliferation marker PCNA and cell cycle regulators Rb, CDK4. Bottom panel: Down regulation of anti-apoptotic BcL-2, SVV and the cell metastatic marker cell adhesion molecule CD44 (marker of cell metastasis and BC stem cell marker) in both cell lines after 48hr from cell treatment with the 6 phytochemicals combination. Down-regulation of the MDA-MB-231 mutant P53 and up-regulation of P53 wild type in MCF7 was interestingly analyzed.
