Abstract
In female Wistar rats with breast cancer, quantitative changes of pro-oncogenic miRNAs (miR-21, -27a, and -221) and tumor-suppressive miR-429 in the mesenteric lymph node were assessed after photodynamic therapy for breast cancer and after photodynamic therapy followed surgical treatment. The level of pro-oncogenic miR-221 in the mesenteric lymph node decreased, and the level of pro-oncogenic miR-21 increased after photodynamic therapy for breast cancer followed by surgical treatment in comparison with the corresponding parameters after photodynamic therapy alone. The content of tumor-suppressive miR-429 remained reduced, as in the group of animals receiving photodynamic therapy alone.
