To determine the anti-metastatic mechanisms and molecular pathways targeted by genistein in human cervical cancer cells.
Integrated in silico network pharmacology predictions with transcriptome profiling using RNA sequencing.
Evaluated cell proliferation, metastasis, and protein and gene expression markers in HeLa cervical cancer cells treated with genistein across concentrations.
RNA sequencing demonstrated significant downregulation of representative genes within the focal adhesion pathway following genistein treatment.
Genistein exhibited concentration-dependent anti-proliferative and anti-metastatic effects in HeLa cells, suppressing activation and gene expression of focal adhesion kinase and paxillin.
Treatment markedly inhibited vimentin and β-catenin protein expression alongside Snail and Twist gene expression.
