To review the biological functions of microRNAs (miRNAs) in breast cancer progression and summarize technologies and delivery systems used to modulate them for therapeutic applications.
Synthesized literature on post-transcriptional gene regulation by miRNAs acting as oncogenes or tumor suppressors across key tumor processes.
Evaluated gain-of-function (mimics, expression vectors, CRISPRa) and loss-of-function (AMOs, sponges, CRISPR-Cas9, CRISPRi) genetic manipulation tools.
Assessed miRNA delivery platforms, including viral vectors, organic nanoparticles, and inorganic nanocarriers.
miRNAs regulate essential oncogenic processes including proliferation, apoptosis evasion, angiogenesis, invasion, and epithelial–mesenchymal transition.
Modulation technologies and nanocarrier-based delivery systems improve targeting specificity and stability, addressing clinical translation barriers in breast cancer therapy.
