The present study demonstrates that theaflavins exploit p53 to impede metastasis in human breast cancer cells. Our data suggest that p53-dependent reactive oxygen species (ROS) induce p53-phosphorylation via p38MAPK in a feedback loop to inhibit I kappa B alpha-phosphorylation and NF-kappa B/p65 nuclear translocation, thereby down-regulating the metastatic proteins metalloproteinase (MMP)-2 and MMP-9. When wild-type p53-expressing MCF-7 cells are transfected with p53 short-interfering RNA, or treated with a pharmacological inhibitor of ROS, theaflavins fail to inhibit NF-kappa B-mediated cell migration. On the other hand, NF-kappa B over-expression bestows MCF-7 cells with resistance to the anti-migratory effect of theaflavins. These results indicate that inhibition of NF-kappa B via p53-ROS crosstalk is a pre-requisite for theaflavins to accomplish the anti-migratory effect in breast cancer cells.
