Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) have been shown to regulate gene expression involved in tumor progression of multiple malignancies. Numerous studies have indicated that N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase V (MGAT5), is an important tumorigenesis and metastasis-associated enzyme in breast cancer (BC). But, the underlying molecular mechanisms by which ncRNAs modulate MGAT5 expression in BC remain undetermined. In this study, we demonstrated that miR-124 expression at a low level in BC tissue was associated with poor prognosis of BC patients. Meanwhile, miR-124 reduced BC cell proliferation and metastasis. MGAT5 was confirmed as a direct target of miR-124. MGAT5 restoration attenuated the inhibitory effects of miR-124 on BC proliferation and metastasis in and . Overall, we provide new insight into the mechanisms by which miR-124 inhibits BC progression, suggesting the potential of miR-124 and MGAT5 as biomarkers for early diagnosis of breast cancer to provide innovative ideas and methods for the diagnosis and treatment of BC.
非编码RNA(ncRNAs)已被证明可调节多种恶性肿瘤进展过程中涉及的基因表达。大量研究表明,N-乙酰葡糖胺基转移酶V(MGAT5)是乳腺癌(BC)中一种重要的肿瘤发生和转移相关酶。但是,ncRNAs调节BC中MGAT5表达的潜在分子机制仍未明确。在本研究中,我们证明BC组织中miR-124低水平表达与BC患者的不良预后相关。同时,miR-124降低了BC细胞的增殖和转移。MGAT5被确认为miR-124的直接靶点。MGAT5的恢复减弱了miR-124对BC增殖和转移的抑制作用。总体而言,我们为miR-124抑制BC进展的机制提供了新的见解,提示miR-124和MGAT5作为乳腺癌早期诊断生物标志物的潜力,为BC的诊断和治疗提供创新思路和方法。
