Effect of Compound Kushen Injection, a Natural Compound Mixture, and Its Identified Chemical Components on Migration and Invasion of Colon, Brain, and Breast Cancer Cell Lines

Conclusion The primary outcome of this study is the demonstration that cancer cell migration and invasion rates are significantly reduced by CKI, suggesting that therapeutic activity of CKI in human cancer patients may arise in part from downregulation of a panel of key molecular targets necessary for adhesion and motility in metastasis. The secondary outcome of this study is that multiple compounds in CKI, acting together, are responsible for this effect.
