Toll-like receptor 4(TLR4)/ nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) signaling pathway plays an important role in invasion, proliferation, migration, apoptosis and autophagy of hepatocellular carcinoma cells. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) monomers inhibit M2 macrophage polarization, epithelial-mesenchymal transformation (EMT), snail family transcriptional repressor 2 (SLUG) deubiquitination by ubiquitin-specific proteases (USP) and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) -induced cell damage by intervening TLR4/NF-κB signaling pathway. Serum inflammatory chemokine ligand 1(CXCL1) level and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) protein level were significantly decreased and matrixmetalloprotease-9 (MMP-9) protein level was significantly decreased. The expression of MMP-9, decreased the levels of granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) and granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF), and interfered with mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP), thereby inhibiting tumor cell invasion and migration, and promoting autophagy and apoptosis of hepatoma cells. The main purpose of this review is to update the latest TCM monomer components that exert anti-liver cancer effect through TLR4/NF-κB signaling, and to clarify the main mechanism of their action on liver cancer, and to provide ideas and methods for exploring more TCM with anti-liver cancer properties, so as to better promote the further development and utilization of TCM resources.
