MiRNAs are able to bind to the 3′‐untranslated region of target gene mRNA and affect the stability or translation of their targeted mRNAs which regulate diverse biological processes such as cell growth, metastasis, and tumorigenesis.14 Based on the results above, which show consistent elevation of both ATG7 protein and mRNA in high grade human BC cell lines, we then detected whether ATG7 mRNA was upregulated at either transcription level or mRNA stability. This evidence concerns the gene ATG7 and breast cancer.
