Houttuynia cordata Thunb. (HCT) and Piper ribesioides Wall. (PR) are common herbs that are widely distributed throughout East Asia and possess various biological properties including anti-cancer effects. However, in breast cancer, their mechanisms responsible for anti-carcinogenic effects have not been clarified yet. In this study, the inhibitory effects of HCT and PR ethanolic extracts on breast cancer cell proliferation, migration, invasion and apoptosis were examined. In MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 cells, HCT and PR extracts at low concentrations can inhibit colony formation and induce G1 cell cycle arrest by downregulating cyclinD1 and CDK4 expression. Additionally, HCT and PR extracts also decreased the migration and invasion of both breast cancer cell lines through inhibition of MMP-2 and MMP-9 secretion. Moreover, the induction of apoptosis was observed in breast cancer cells treated with high concentrations of HCT and PR extracts. Not only stimulated caspases activity, but HCT and PR extracts also upregulated the expression of caspases and pro-apoptotic Bcl-2 family proteins in breast cancer cells. Altogether, these findings provide the rationale to further investigate the potential actions of HCT and PR extracts against breast cancer in vivo. Full article
