2020). They inhibited the phosphorylation of FAK, cSrc, and p130Cas, central modulators of cell migration (Pintha et al. 2014). Anthocyanins from this rice have been associated with suppression of the RAF/MEK/ERK pathway and downregulation of MMP‐2 and MMP‐9, metalloproteinases critical in extracellular matrix degradation and metastatic progression (Chen et al. 2015). In red rice, compounds, such as γ‐oryzanol, γ‐tocotrienol, and proanthocyanidins, reduced the secretion of MMP‐2 and MMP‐9, reinforcing their role in inhibiting tumor invasiveness (Pintha et al. 2014). The gene discussed is MMP9; the disease is neoplasm.
