The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of liquiritigenin (LQ) on breast cancer (BC) and its mechanism. After BC cell lines and normal mammary epithelial cells were cultured with LQ, CCK-8, and Scratch, Transwell assays and flow cytometry were applied to test the effect of LQ on cell proliferation, migration, invasion, and apoptosis. The effect of LQ on the expression of microRNA-383-5p (miR-383-5p) and connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) was measured by qRT-PCR and Western blotting. Bioinformatics prediction was used to ev...
