METTL3/LINC00662/miR-186-5p feedback loop regulates docetaxel resistance in triple negative breast cancer.

ABSTRACT: Insight into the mechanism of docetaxel resistance in breast cancer may help to improve prognosis. We aimed to investigate the role of N6-methyladenosine (m6A) and the METTL3/LINC00662/miR-186-5p pathway in regulating docetaxel resistance in triple negative breast cancer (TNBC). We have recruited 193 pathologically diagnosed TNBC patients from 2016 to 2017 in our hospital. Quantitative real-time PCR was used to evaluate the expression of LINC00662 and miR-186-5p both in vivo and in vitro. CCK8 tests were used to assess cell viability. ELISA was used for protein expression evaluation. Dual luciferase reporter gene assay and RNA pull-down were used to evaluate the interaction between LINC00662 and miR-186-5p. m6A levels were enhanced in breast cancer tissues and cells.
