Abstract

The present study aimed to investigate the role of microRNA (miR)‑449a in the proliferation, migration and apoptosis of MDA‑MB‑468 breast cancer cells and examine the association between miR‑449a and mutant p53 in these cells. Cell proliferation, migration and invasion were examined using a crystal violet staining assay, wound healing scratch assay and Transwell assay, respectively. The expression level of miR‑449a and p53 was detected by reverse transcription‑quantitative PCR or western blotting. The results indicated that knockdown of mutant p53 suppressed the proliferation and migration of MDA‑MB‑468 cells by inhibiting the PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway. In addition, miR‑449a suppressed proliferation and migration via downregulation of mutant p53 expression in MDA‑MB‑468 cells. Therefore, miR‑449a may function as a tumor suppressor by regulating p53 expression in breast cancer cells, which may have potential implications in the treatment of patients with triple‑negative breast cancer carrying mutant p53.
