We showed that miR‐101‐5p acted as an anti‐tumor miRNA in breast cancer (BrCa) cells through targeting several oncogenic genes (i.e. High Mobility Group Box 3, Epithelial splicing regulatory protein 1, GINS complex subunit 1 (GINS1), Tumor Protein D52, Serine/Arginine‐Rich Splicing Factor Kinase 1, Vang‐like protein 1, and Mago Homolog B). Here, GINS1 is linked to breast carcinoma.
