Abstract
As one of the most prevalent malignant neoplasms among women globally, the optimization of therapeutic strategies for breast cancer has perpetually been a research hotspot. The tumor microenvironment (TME) is of paramount importance in the progression of breast cancer, among which the extracellular matrix (ECM) and hypoxia are two crucial factors. The alterations of these two factors are predominantly regulated by the Hippo signaling pathway, which promotes tumor invasiveness, metastasis, therapeutic resistance, and susceptibility. Hence, this review focuses on the Hippo pathway in breast cancer, specifically, how the ECM and hypoxia impact the biological traits and therapeutic responses of breast cancer. Moreover, the role of miRNAs in modulating ECM constituents was investigated, and hsa-miR-33b-3p was identified as a potential therapeutic target for breast cancer. The review provides theoretical foundations and potential therapeutic direction for clinical treatment strategies in breast cancer, with the aspiration of attaining more precise and effective treatment alternatives in the future.
