Abstract
Objective: The difficulties experienced in the treatment of prostate cancer and the excess of side effects due to chemotherapy have brought the search for alternative treatment strategies. In recent studies, it is known that Rutin (RUT) has an anti-cancer effect on cancer cells. Our study aimed to determine the effects of RUT on epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in prostate cancer cells, for the first time.
 Methods: The anticancer activity of RUT in prostate cancer cells (PC-3) was determined by WST-1, Annexin V ELISA, DAPI and Acridine Orange staining, and the anti-cancer and anti-metastatic properties of RUT were evaluated with the Scratch Assay test. The mRNA expression level of Bax, Bcl-2, Snail, Twist, Vimentin and E-cadherin genes was determined by RT-PCR.
 Results: PC-3 cells were treated with RUT (500, 750, 1000, 1500 µM) for 24 and 48 hours. The viability rates decreased with increasing RUT concentration depending on dose and time (p
