Triple-negative breast cancer(TNBC)is a subtype of breast cancer,and its mechanisms of occurrence and devel-opment remain unclear.In this study,we aim to investigate the role and molecular mechanisms of the demethylase FTO(fat mass and obesity-associated protein)in TNBC.Through analysis of public databases,we identify that FTO may regulate the maturation of miR-17-5p and subsequently influence the expression of zinc finger and BTB domain-containing protein 4(ZBTB4),thereby affecting the occurrence and progression of TNBC.We screen for relevant miRNAs and mRNAs from the GEO and TCGA databases and find that the FTO gene may play a crucial role in TNBC.In vitro cell experiments demonstrate that overexpression of FTO can suppress the proliferation,migra-tion,and invasion ability of TNBC cells and can regulate the maturation of miR-17-5p through an m6A-dependent mechanism.Furthermore,we establish a xenograft nude mouse model and collect clinical samples to further confirm the role and impact of the FTO/miR-17-5p/ZBTB4 regulatory axis in TNBC.Our findings unveil the potential role of FTO and its underlying molecular mechanisms in TNBC,providing new perspectives and strategies for the research and treatment of TNBC.
