Roles of microRNA-221/222 in type 2 diabetic patients with post-menopausal breast cancer.

In conclusion, miR-221/222 participates in insulin resistance; the combination of miR- 221/222 and estrogen contributes to incidence of T2DM with post-menopausal breast cancer complications. MiR-221/222 may participate in the occurrence and progression of T2DM with post-menopausal breast cancer via down-regulation of CAVl. PMID: 27420990 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
