Abstract: Triple-negative breast cancers are highly aggressive, a heterogeneous form of breast cancer with a
high re-occurrence rate that further lacks an efficient treatment strategy and prognostic marker. The tumor microenvironment
of the disease comprises cancer-associated fibroblasts, cancer stem cells, immunological
molecules, epithelial-mesenchymal transition, and a metastatic microenvironment that contributes to disease
progression and metastasis to distant sites. Emerging evidence indicated that miRNA clusters would be of clinical
utility as they exert an oncogenic or tumor suppressor role in TNBC. The present review article aims to
highlight the therapeutic significance of miRNA in targeting the above-mentioned signaling cascades and modulating
the intracellular crosstalk in the tumor microenvironment of TNBC. Prognostic implications of miRNAs
to depict disease-free survival, distant metastasis-free survival, relapse-free survival, and overall survival
outcome were also unveiled.
