MiR-221 promotes trastuzumab-resistance and metastasis in HER2-positive breast cancers by targeting PTEN

HER2-overexpressing breast cancers are characterized by frequent distant metastasis and often develop resistance after short-term effective treatment with the monoclonal antibody drug, trastuzumab. Here, we found that the oncogenic miRNA, miR-221, inhibited apoptosis, induced trastuzumab resistance...
