    Abstract:
    Our previous study has showed doublecortin like kinase 1 (DCLK1) serves as an oncogene to regulate basal-like breast cancer cell proliferation, migration and invasion, and is associated with malignant status and poor prognosis. The aim of this study is to identify microRNAs (miRNAs), which target DCLK1 to regulate basal-like breast cancer cell proliferation, migration and invasion. In our results, we observed that miR-424-5p expression was decreased in basal-like breast cancer tissues and cell lines. Furthermore, we found 3'-UTR of DCLK1 had binding site of miR-424-5p based on microRNA target databases, and there was an inverse correlation between miR-424-5p and DCLK1 in basal-like breast cancer tissues. Moreover, we confirmed miR-424-5p directly targeted to 3'-UTR of DCLK1 through luciferase reporter assay, and miR-424-5p negatively regulated DCLK1 mRNA and protein expressions through qRT-PCR and western blot. The gain-of-function studies showed that miR-424-5p suppressed basal-like breast cancer cell proliferation, migration and invasion. The rescued-function studies suggested up-regulation of DCLK1 could rescue inhibition of miR-424-5p mimics in the regulation of basal-like breast cancer cell proliferation, migration and invasion. Finally, low-expression of miR-424-5p was associated with advanced clinical stage, large tumor size, more metastatic lymph nodes, present distant metastasis and poor histological grade in basal-like breast cancer patients. In conclusion, miR-424-5p is a tumor suppressive microRNA to regulate tumor cell proliferation, migration and invasion via binding to the functional target DCLK1, and associated with malignant status in basal-like breast cancer.
