Role of glycosylation in breast cancer progression and metastasis: implications for miRNA, EMT and multidrug resistance. Breast cancer (BC) is one of the leading causes of death in women, globally. A variety of biological processes results in metastasis, a poorly understood pathological phenomenon, causing a high relapse rate. Glycosylation, microribonucleic acids (miRNAs) and epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT), have been shown to regulate this cascade where tumor cells detach from their primary site, enter the circulatory system and colonize distant sites. Integrated proteomics and glycomics approaches have been developed to probe the molecular mechanism regulating such metastasis. In this review, we describe specific aspects of glycosylation and its interrelation with miRNAs, EMT and multidrug resistance during BC progression and metastasis. We explore various approaches that determine the role of proteomes and glycosylation in BC diagnosis, therapy and drug discovery.
