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 inva... More

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.
