MicroRNA-301 mediates proliferation and invasion in human breast cancer
Abstract
Several microRNAs have been implicated in human breast cancer but none to date have been validated or utilized consistently in clinical management. MicroRNA-301 (miR-301) overexpression has been implicated as a negative prognostic indicator in lymph node negative (LNN) invasive ductal breast cancer, but its potential functional impact has not been determined. Here we report that in breast cancer cells, miR-301 attenuation decreased cell proliferation, clonogenicity, migration, invasion, tamoxifen resistance, tumor growth, and microvessel density, establishing an important oncogenic role for this gene. Algorithm-based and experimental strategies identified FOXF2, BBC3, PTEN, and COL2A1 as candidate miR-301 targets, all of which were verified as direct targets through luciferase reporter assays. We noted that miR-301 is located in an intron of the SKA2 gene which is responsible for kinetochore assembly, and both genes were found to be coexpressed in primary breast cancer samples. In summary, our findings define miR-301 as a crucial oncogene in human breast cancer that acts through multiple pathways and mechanisms to promote nodal or distant relapses.
