Abstract: The invention provides a diagnostic kit for metastasis and invasion of breast cancer and a use of an shRNA molecule for silencing expression of human LINC01614. The shRNAs obtained by the invention can interfere with the expression of LINC01614, thereby reducing the migration and invasion ability of tumor cells, inhibiting the expression of EMT proteins, and inhibiting tumor formation and lung metastasis in an animal model in vivo. The invention provides a new solution for targeted therapy of breast cancer. Therefore, the kit for diagnosing metastasis and invasion of breast cancer and the medication for treating metastasis and invasion of breast cancer are developed. The invention provides a new way and strategy for diagnosing and treating metastasis and invasion of breast cancer.
