Abstract

Triple-negative breast cancer is a special type of breast cancer, characterized by younger onset age, shorter survival period, higher malignant degree, higher mortality, recurrence and metastasis. Triple-negative breast cancer is more harmful to women's life and health, compared with other types of breast cancer. This paper mainly studied the role of miR-585 in triple-negative breast cancer. Real-time quantitative PCR was used to detect the expression of miR-585 in triple-negative breast cancer cell lines and tissues. Kaplan-Meier curve and Cox proportional hazards model analysis were used to investigate the prognostic value of miR-585 in triple-negative breast cancer. CCK-8 and Transwell assays were used to detect cell proliferation, invasion and migration. miR-585 was significantly down-regulated in triple-negative breast cancer cells and tissues. The low expression of miR-585 has been shown to be significantly associated with poor prognosis in triple-negative breast cancer patients. Abnormally low expression of miR-585 can promote cell proliferation, migration and invasion. Overall, abnormally low expression of miR-585 is associated with prognosis and progression of triple-negative breast cancer. miR-585 may serve as a prognostic biomarker for patients with triple-negative breast cancer and it is expected to be a new method and strategy for the treatment of triple-negative breast cancer.
