Chemoresistance of tumors often leads to treatment failure in clinical practice, which underscores pivotal needs to uncover novel therapeutic strategies. Accumulating evidences show that microRNAs (miRNAs) are widely involved in carcinogenesis, but their function on chemoresistance remains largely unexplored. In this study, we found that miR-93-5p (miR-93) significantly inhibited cell proliferation, induced G1/S cell cycle arrest and increased chemosensitivity to paclitaxel (PTX) in vitro and in vivo. Moreover, two well-established oncogenes, E2F1 and CCND1, were identified as dual targets of miR-93. Knockdown of E2F1 and CCND1 reduced cell proliferation and PTX-sensitivity, whereas overexpression of them had the opposite effect. More importantly, overexpression of E2F1 and CCND1 antagonized miR-93-mediated cell cycle arrest and apoptosis. Further mechanistic study revealed that miR-93 exhibited its inhibitory role by directly targeting E2F1 and CCND1 to inactivate pRB/E2F1 pathway and AKT phosphorylation. Taken together, our findings suggested that miR-93 greatly improved chemosensitivity and potentially served as a novel therapeutic target for breast cancer treatment.
