RESUMO
Correction for 'MiR-4458-loaded gelatin nanospheres target COL11A1 for DDR2/SRC signaling pathway inactivation to suppress the progression of estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer' by Jie Liu et al., Biomater. Sci., 2022, 10, 4596-4611, https://doi.org/10.1039/D2BM00543C.
RESUMO
RNA interference is a promising way to treat cancer and the construction of a stable drug delivery system is critically important for its application. Gelatin nanospheres (GNs) comprise a biodegradable drug vehicle with excellent biocompatibility, but there are limited studies on its delivery and role in the stabilization of miRNA and siRNA. Breast cancer is the most diagnosed type of female cancer worldwide. Abnormal miRNA expression is closely related to the occurrence and progression of estrogen receptor-positive (ER+) breast cancer. In this study, miR-4458 was upregulated in ER+ breast cancer and could inhibit MCF-7 cell viability, colony formation, migration, and invasion. Collagen type XI alpha 1 (COL11A1) was identified as a directly interacting protein of miR-4458 and an important component of the extracellular matrix. High COL11A1 expression was positively correlated with poor prognosis, lower overall survival, disease-free survival, and a late tumor-node-metastasis stage. COL11A1 knockdown could inhibit MCF-7 cell migration and invasion. GNs were used to load a miR-4458 mimic or COL11A1 siRNA (si-COL11A1) to achieve sustained and controlled release in xenograft nude mice. Their tumor volume was decreased, tumor cell apoptosis was promoted, and hepatic metastasis was significantly inhibited. Moreover, the DDR2/SRC signaling pathway was inactivated after transfection with the miR-4458 mimic and si-COL11A1. In conclusion, GNs can be potentially used to deliver siRNA or miRNA, and miR-4458 and COL11A1 can be possible targets for ER+ breast cancer treatment.

Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) include miRNA, lncRNA, and circRNA. NcRNAs are involved in multiple biological processes, including chromatin remodeling, signal transduction, post-transcriptional modification, cell autophagy, carbohydrate metabolism, and cell cycle regulation. Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) is notorious for high invasiveness and metastasis, poor prognosis, and high mortality, and it is the most malignant breast cancer, while the effective targets for TNBC treatment are still lacking. NcRNAs act as oncogenes or suppressor genes, as well as promote or inhibit the occurrence and development of TNBC. Here, we reviewed some important miRNAs, lncRNAs, circRNAs, their target(s) and molecular mechanisms in TNBC. It is benefited to understand the occurrence and development of TNBC, further some ncRNAs might be potential targets for TNBC treatment.
