101PInvolvement of miR-99a in resistance to chemotherapy in triple-negative breast cancer

Background: Breast cancer is the most prevalent type of cancer among women worldwide, and also the leading cause of women death in developed countries. Among the different breast cancer subtypes, triple-negative breast cancer is the most aggressive one. Those patients can be treated with cytotoxic therapies, but the most of them develop resistance against those drugs. Due to this reason, it is important to study new therapeutic approaches to increase the efficacy of chemotherapy. Herein, microRNAs have a major role in tumoral cell regulation as well as in drug resistance. Our aim was to determine which microRNAs are differentially expressed by MDA-MB-231 cells and MDA-MB-231 cells with acquired resistance to doxorubicin.
