Abstract
Researches indicate that the dysregulation of microRNA (miRNA) is involved in tumorigenesis. Among such dysregulated miRNAs in cancer, miR-145 is reported to be downregulated in multiple cancers. In this study, we demonstrated the downregulation of miR-145 in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) tissues and TNBC cell lines by quantitative reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) analysis. Furthermore, we found that the tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α)-induced apoptosis was expanded by the transfection of miR-145 in MDA-MB-231 which belongs to the TNBC cell lines. We then indicated that the mechanism by which miR-145 promotes the TNF-α-induced apoptosis is dependent on the formation of RIP1-FADD-caspase-8 complex. The cellular inhibitor of apoptosis (cIAP1), which is the inhibitor of apoptosis protein, was found to be a target of miR-145 in MDA-MB-231 cells. As a result of cIAP1 overexpression, the promotion of miR-145 on TNF-α-induced apoptosis was inhibited in MDA-MB-231 cells. Therefore, our results indicate that miR-145 acts as a tumor suppressor in TNBC, suggesting that the miR-145-cIAP1 axis might be a potential therapeutic target for TNBC.
