To find out the role of hsa‐miR‐570‐3p targeting CD274 in triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) via PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway. Hsa‐miR‐570‐3p and CD274 expressions in 175 TNBC patients were detected by qRT‐PCR and immunohistochemistry respectively. The human TNBC cell lines (MDA‐MB‐468 and MDA‐MB‐231) were used to verify the targeting relationship between hsa‐miR‐570‐3p and CD274 via dual‐luciferase reporter gene assay. Then, MDA‐MB‐468 and MDA‐MB‐231 cells were divided into Blank, miR‐NC, miR‐570‐3p mimics, NC siRNA, CD274 siRNA, and miR‐570‐3p inhibitors + CD274 siRNA groups. Next, the biological activities of cells were detected by MTT, Cell‐Light EdU, Annexin‐V‐FITC/PI, wound healing and Transwell invasion assays. Western blotting was conducted to detect protein expressions.MiR‐570‐3p expression was lower in tumor tissues than that in adjacent normal tissues, which was more obvious in CD274‐positive TNBC patients, which targeted CD274 in TNBC cell lines. MiR‐570‐3p inhibited cell proliferation, invasion and migration, but induced cell apoptosis accompanying the upregulation of apoptotic proteins and downregulation of anti‐apoptotic protein. CD274 siRNA had the similar results of miR‐570‐3p mimics, which could be reversed by miR‐570‐3p inhibitors. Besides, both miR‐570‐3p mimics and CD274 siRNA blocked PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway in TNBC cell lines. Hsa‐miR‐570‐3p was downregulated and CD274 was upregulated in TNBC patients. Besides, hsa‐miR‐570‐3p targeted CD274 to inhibit cell proliferation, invasion, migration, and induce cell apoptosis, which may be related to the suppression of PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
