Abstract

MicroRNAs (miRs) play critical roles in the development and malignant progression of human cancers. miR-148a has previously been found to inhibit the migration and invasion of breast cancer cells. However, the underlying mechanism of miR‑148a in regulating the viability and migration of estrogen receptor (ER) α‑positive breast cancer cells is still unknown. In this study, ERα‑positive breast cancer MCF7 cells were treated with estradiol (E2). Data from MTT and wound healing assays showed that E2 treatment promoted the viability and migration of MCF7 cells. A bioinformatics analysis and luciferase reporter assay identified ERα as a direct target of miR‑148a. Ectopic expression of miR‑148a significantly decreased the protein expression of ERα (P<0.01), while knockdown of miR‑148a significantly increased the ERα protein level in MCF7 cells (P<0.01). Furthermore, miR‑148a overexpression significantly inhibited the E2‑induced viability and migration of MCF7 cells (P<0.01), similar to the effect of silencing ERα. However, overexpression of ERα rescued the suppressed viability and migration caused by miR‑148a upregulation. Finally, it was found that E2 treatment led to a significant decrease in the miR‑148a level in MCF7 cells (P<0.01). These results suggest that miR‑148a can suppress the E2‑induced viability and migration of MCF7 breast cancer cells via inhibition of ERα protein expression, expanding the understanding of miR function in ERα‑positive breast cancer.
