It has been reported that miR-26a plays an important role in various cancers. In this study, we found that miR-26a was downregulated in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), and its expression levels were associated with lymph node metastasis and overall survival in TNBC. We also found that the ectopic expression of miR-26a inhibited TNBC cell proliferation and metastasis in vitro and in vivo by downregulating MTDH (a miR-26a' target gene) mRNA and protein and that the overexpression of MTDH could partially abrogate miR-26a-mediated suppression. Our data suggest that miR-26a functions as a tumour suppressor in TNBC development and serves as a prognostic marker for breast cancer.
据报道,miR-26a在多种癌症中发挥重要作用。在本研究中,我们发现miR-26a在三阴性乳腺癌(TNBC)中表达下调,其表达水平与TNBC的淋巴结转移及总生存期相关。我们还发现,miR-26a的异位表达通过下调MTDH(miR-26a的一个靶基因)的mRNA和蛋白水平,在体外和体内抑制TNBC细胞的增殖和转移,并且MTDH的过表达可部分消除miR-26a介导的抑制作用。我们的数据表明,miR-26a在TNBC发生发展中起肿瘤抑制作用,并可作为乳腺癌的预后标志物。
