Similarly, studies reported that myricetin and epigallocatechin‐3‐gallate can repress the migration, metastasis, invasion, and adhesion of TNBC cells by reducing the MMP‐2/9 protein expression (Adinew et al., 2021).These plant‐derived polyphenols play an anti‐cancer role as antioxidants, which provides a direction for the development of functional plant‐based foods and also provides a theoretical basis for the screening of anti‐cancer drugs and research on potential targets. Here, MMP2 is linked to cancer.
