“…78 Interestingly, expression of miR-205 is downregulated in breast cancer cell lines that belong to claudin-low subtype, which is known to be associated with high epithelial-mesenchymal transition, 79 as well as in triple-negative breast cancer human samples. 74,80 Of note, the commonly used triple-negative inflammatory breast cancer cell line SUM149, unlike the claudin-low subtype of breast cancer cell lines, does not contain a detectable mesenchymal subpopulation 81,82 and demonstrates a much higher expression level of miR-205 than the triple-negative breast cancer cell lines with a mesenchymal phenotype. 79 Consistent with its potential role in tumor metastasis demonstrated in vitro, a recent miRNA expression profiling study of human metastatic cancers demonstrated miR-205 downregulation in metastatic breast cancer in lymph nodes compared with primary breast cancers, but not in metastatic cancers from the colon, bladder, or lung.…”
