Abstract

Our study demonstrates that microRNA-22-3p (miR-22-3p) acts as a tumor suppressor in which its expression is markedly reduced in TNBC tumors. Restoration of its expression by miR-22-3p nanotherapy suppress tumor growth and progression by directly inhibiting of eEF2K-PI3K/AKT and Src signaling. miR-22-3p-based RNA therapy may be novel treatment for TNBC.
