Popis: This study aimed to investigate the effect of Catharanthus roseus L. (C. roseus) leaf extract on the migration and invasion of MDA-MB-231 cell line and elucidate the molecular mechanisms of action. Effect of the extract on cell viability was evaluated by MTT (3-(4,5-dimethyl-2-thiazolyl)-2,5-diphenyl2H-tetrazoliumbromide) assay. Anti-migratory and anti-invasive effects were evaluated using scratch and Transwell assays. Effect on the levels and activities of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-2 and MMP-9 was determined using ELISA and gelatin zymography. Furthermore, changes in the expression of 84 genes commonly involved in cell motility were assessed by Reverse Transcription-Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR) and cell motility RT2 profiler PCR array. Gene ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analyses were performed using DAVID. Using STRING and Cytoscape software, hub genes were determined. The extract significantly (p
