Although some experimental studies have demonstrated the therapeutic potential of sea cucumber extract, its effect on hepatic gene expression in cancer settings remains underexplored. Objective: This study investigates the modulatory effects of methanol extract of Holothuria scabra on NF-κB and CYR61 gene expression in the liver of a breast cancer mouse model induced by HFD and DMBA. Methods: A randomized post-test only control group design was employed using C57BL/6J female mice. Animals were divided into five groups including a normal diet group (ND), a positive control group (HFD + DMBA), and three treatment groups receiving sea cucumber methanol extract (SCME) at doses of 0.33, 0.66, and 0.99 g/kg BW. Liver tissues were harvested for analysis of NF-κB and CYR61 mRNA expression via semi-quantitative RT-PCR. Results: Mice treated with SCME showed dose-dependent reductions in hepatic NF-κB and CYR61 expression. The highest dose (0.99 g/kg BW) significantly downregulated both genes compared to the HFD + DMBA group (p < 0.05). Conclusion: SCME modulates inflammatory and tumorigenic gene expression in the liver, suggesting potential anti-inflammatory and anticancer activity. Further studies are needed to explore molecular mechanisms and clinical relevance. }, issn = {2540-8844}, pages = {247--253} doi = {10.14710/dmj.v14i5.50957}, url = {https://ejournal3.undip.ac.id/index.php/medico/article/view/50957} }
