Abstract

Previously, serum miR-188-5p is differentially expressed in breast cancer, but the diagnostic potential of circulating miR-188-5p as well as its regulatory mechanism in breast cancer remain uncertain. Herein, serum miR-188-5p was detected by real-time polymerase chain reaction in patients with breast cancer, breast fibroadenoma, and healthy subjects. Circulating miR-188-5p was abnormally elevated in patients with breast cancer as compared with these other two groups, and was reduced in patients with breast cancer following surgical treatment. Increased serum miR-188-5p corresponded to lymph node metastasis status and TNM stages of breast cancer. A receiver operating characteristic curve analysis of the ability to circulate miR-188-5p to distinguish between patients with breast cancer and either noncancerous patients or patients with breast fibroadenoma yielded corresponding areas under the curve of 0.894 and 8.814. miR-188-5p was downregulated in the highly malignant cancer line MDA-MB-231 relative to the less malignant MCF-7 cells. In vitro, functional analyses conducted via transfecting cells with mimics and inhibitors revealed miR-188-5p to suppress breast cancer cell proliferation and migration, which was mediated by its downstream target IL6ST. Comparison of intracellular and exosomal miR-188-5p levels indicated that miR-188-5p was selectively sorted into exosomes derived from MDA-MB-231 cells rather than those from MCF-7 cells. However, exosomal miR-188-5p levels in the serum of patients with breast cancer were reduced compared to healthy controls and did not differ relative to patients with breast fibroadenoma. In summary, miR-188-5p acts in a tumor-suppressive manner in breast cancer progression and may serve as a noninvasive early diagnostic biomarker and therapeutic target in breast cancer.
