Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is heterogeneous and aggressive, with high vascularity and frequent metastasis. We have already found natural flavonoid scutellarin (SC) suppressed spontaneous TNBC metastasis via normalizing tumor vasculature in vivo. In this study, supernatant from tumor necrosis factorα (TNFα)-treated human mammary microvascular endothelial cell (HMMEC) promoted cell migration and pseudopod formation in TNBC cells, but these phenomena were disappeared in SC-co-treated HMMEC.
