Trastuzumab is commonly used in the treatment of human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 positive (HER-2+) breast cancer, but its efficacy is often limited by the emergence of chemoresistance. Recent studies indicate that exosomes act as vehicles for exchange of genetic cargo between heterogeneous populations of tumor cells, engendering a transmitted drug resistance for cancer development and progression. However, the specific contribution of breast cancer-derived exosomes is poorly understood. In this study, publicly available expression profiling data from breast cancer and bioinformatics analyses were used to screen potential miRNAs in trastuzumab resistance. A series of gain- or loss-functional assays were performed to define the function of miR-567 and ATG5 in trastuzumab resistance and autophagy, both in vitro and in vivo. Our results showed that miR-567 was significantly decreased in trastuzumab-resistant patients compared with responding patients. Moreover, miR-567 was also downregulated in trastuzumab-resistant cells compared with parental cells. Overexpression of miR-567 reversed chemoresistance, whereas silence of miR-567 induced trastuzumab resistance, both in vitro and in vivo. In addition, enhanced miR-567 could be packaged into exosomes, incorporated into receipt cells, suppressing autophagy and reversed chemoresistance by targeting ATG5. To conclude, exosomal miR-567 plays a key role in reversing trastuzumab resistance via regulating autophagy, indicating it may be a promising therapeutic target and prognostic indicator for breast cancer patients.
