A miR-210-3p regulon that controls the Warburg effect by modulating HIF-1α and p53 activity in triple-negative breast cancer.

ABSTRACT: Reprogrammed energy metabolism, especially the Warburg effect (aerobic glycolysis), is an emerging hallmark of cancer. Different from other breast cancer subtypes, triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) exhibits high metabolic remodeling, increased aggressiveness and lack of targeted therapies. MicroRNAs (miRNA) are essential to TNBC malignant phenotypes. However, little is known about the contribution of miRNA to aerobic glycolysis in TNBC. Through an integrated analysis and functional verification, we reported that several miRNAs significantly correlates to the Warburg effect in TNBC, including miR-210-3p, miR-105-5p, and miR-767-5p. Ectopic expression of miR-210-3p enhanced glucose uptake, lactate production, extracellular acidification rate, colony formation ability, and reduced serum st
