MicroRNA-200c restoration reveals a cytokine profile to enhance M1 macrophage polarization in breast cancer

Abstract Many immune suppressive mechanisms utilized by triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) are regulated by oncogenic epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT). How TNBC EMT impacts innate immune cells is not fully understood. To determine how TNBC suppresses antitumor macrophages, we used microR...
