Abstract

Background: The regulation of the miR-23a/24-2/27a cluster is largely unknown. Results: EGF induced c-MYC expression to promote the expression of the miR-23a/24-2/27a cluster, resulting in decreased expression of Sprouty2 and increased activation of p44/42 MAPK to stimulate mammary carcinoma cell invasion and subsequent hepatic metastases. Conclusion: EGF promoted mammary carcinoma cell invasion and hepatic metastasis. Significance: The miR-23a/24-2/27a cluster might be used as a biomarker for breast cancer metastasis.
