Breast cancer (BC) is a significant cause of cancer-related mortality, and triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a particularly aggressive subtype associated with high mortality rates, especially among younger females. TNBC poses a considerable clinical challenge due to its aggressive tumor behavior and limited therapeutic options. Aberrations within the PI3K/AKT pathway are prevalent in TNBC and correlate with increased therapeutic intervention resistance and poor outcomes. MicroRNAs (miRs) have emerged as crucial PI3K/AKT pathway regulators influencing various cellular processes involved in TNBC pathogenesis. The levels of miRs, including miR-193, miR-4649-5p, and miR-449a, undergo notable changes in TNBC tumor tissues, emphasizing their significance in cancer biology. This review explored the intricate interplay between miR variants and PI3K/AKT signaling in TNBC. The review focused on the molecular mechanisms underlying miR-mediated dysregulation of this pathway and highlighted specific miRs and their targets. In addition, we explore the clinical implications of miR dysregulation in TNBC, particularly its correlation with TNBC prognosis and therapeutic resistance. Elucidating the roles of miRs in modulating the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway will enhance our understanding of TNBC biology and unveil potential therapeutic targets. This comprehensive review aims to discuss current knowledge and open promising avenues for future research, ultimately facilitating the development of precise and effective treatments for patients with TNBC.
乳腺癌(BC)是癌症相关死亡率的重要原因,三阴性乳腺癌(TNBC)是一种特别具有侵袭性的亚型,与高死亡率相关,尤其是在年轻女性中。TNBC 由于其侵袭性肿瘤行为和有限的治疗选择,构成了相当大的临床挑战。PI3K/AKT 通路中的异常在 TNBC 中很常见,并与增加的治疗干预耐药性和不良预后相关。MicroRNAs(miRs)已成为 PI3K/AKT 通路的重要调节因子,影响参与 TNBC 发病机制的各种细胞过程。miRs 的水平,包括 miR-193、miR-4649-5p 和 miR-449a,在 TNBC 肿瘤组织中发生显著变化,强调了它们在癌症生物学中的重要性。本综述探讨了 miR 变体与 TNBC 中 PI3K/AKT 信号之间的复杂相互作用。综述重点介绍了 miR 介导的该通路失调的分子机制,并强调了特定的 miRs 及其靶标。此外,我们还探讨了 miR 失调在 TNBC 中的临床意义,特别是其与 TNBC 预后和治疗耐药性的相关性。阐明 miRs 在调节 PI3K/AKT 信号通路中的作用将增强我们对 TNBC 生物学的理解,并揭示潜在的治疗靶点。本综述旨在讨论当前的知识,并为未来的研究开辟有前途的途径,最终为 TNBC 患者的精确和有效治疗的发展提供帮助。
