Abstract:
Breast cancer (BC) has become a threat to women's health. In addition, patients with triple-negative BC (TNBC) have the worst prognosis among all patients with BC. Furthermore, long non-coding RNA ABHD11-AS1 is aberrantly highly expressed in TNBC, suggesting that RNA ABHD11-AS1 may serve as an important role in the progression of TNBC. However, the detailed function of ABHD11-AS1 in TNBC remains largely unknown. The levels of ABHD11-AS1 in MDA-MB-231 cells were assessed by reverse transcription-quantitative PCR. To investigate the effect of ABHD11-AS1 on the progression of TNBC, a xenograft animal model was established. Knockdown of ABHD11-AS1 inhibited the epithelial-mesenchymal transition and migration of TNBC cells. In addition, ABHD11-AS1 promoted the viability and migration of TNBC cells by upregulating microRNA (miR)-199a-5p. Furthermore, knockdown of ABHD11-AS1 suppressed TNBC tumor growth in vivo by upregulating miR-199a-5p. In conclusion, knockdown of ABHD11-AS1 suppressed the progression of TNBC via upregulation of miR-199a-5p. The data of the present study may provide novel directions and a theoretical basis for TNBC treatment.
