HMGA2 and breast carcinoma: In the same year, also in breast cancer, let-7 was identified as a suppressor of metastasis acting to target the GTPase H-RAS and High Mobility Group AT-Hook 2 (HMGA2) gene in tumor-initiating cells, resulting in reduced proliferation and mammosphere formation in vitro and decreased metastasis in a NOD/SCID murine model [14].
