miR-10b as a Clinical Marker and a Therapeutic Target for Metastatic Breast Cancer

Description
Summary:Despite advances in cancer detection and treatment, metastatic breast cancer continues to carry a poor prognosis due to the lack of diagnostic and therapeutic resources that are specific to the metastatic process. MicroRNA-10b (miR-10b) is a small, noncoding RNA that is the focus of many studies due to its unique role as a driver of metastasis. The pathways it is involved in and the properties it confers have been reviewed previously and, collectively, are suggestive of the potential of miR-10b as a clinical marker and as a therapeutic target specific to metastatic disease. With the goal of application of our understanding of miR-10b to the clinic, in this mini-review, we highlight the studies that support the utility of miR-10b for these translational purposes.
