Abstract

Breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer‑associated mortality in females. It has an incidence of 1.3 million per year, which increases by 2% annually. In China, breast cancer accounts for 12.2% of all cancer cases. The aim of the present study was to investigate the inhibitory effect of naringenin on triple‑negative breast cancer cells. Lactate dehydrogenase and MTT assay was used to investigate the inhibitory effect of naringenin on MDA‑MB‑231 cell viability. Naringenin reduced the viability of MDA‑MB‑231 cells by arresting the cell cycle at the G2 phase. Naringenin treatment not only influenced the phase of cell cycle arrest, but also induced apoptosis in a dose‑dependent manner. Naringenin treatment also resulted in a significant increase in caspase‑3 and caspase‑9 activity (P<0.001). Taken together, the results of the present study suggested that naringenin caused an inhibitory effect on MDA‑MB‑231 cells via induction of apoptosis and inhibition of caspase‑3 and ‑9 activity.
