Salvianolic acid A suppresses MMP-2 expression and restrains cancer cell invasion through ERK signaling in human nasopharyngeal carcinoma

Conclusions: Our results demonstrated that SAA inhibited the migration and invasion of NPC cells, accompanied by downregulation of MMP-2 and inactivation of FAK, Src, and ERK pathways. These findings indicate a usefulness of SAA on restraining NPC invasion and metastasis.Graphical abstract
