Collectively, the aforementioned results not only provide compelling evidence for a tumor-promoting role of TFAP2A in TNBC, but also indicate that TFAP2A is intricately associated with miR-8072-mediated suppression on proliferation and migration of TNBC cells, highlighting the continuous functional cascade initiated by miR-8072 in suppressing tumor progression. Here, TFAP2A is linked to neoplasm.
