Abstract
Breast cancer (BC) is the most common malignancy in women worldwide. Wnt signaling is involved in tumorigenesis and cancer progression, and is closely associated with the characteristics of BC. Variation in the expression of exosomal microRNAs (miRNAs) modulates key cancer phenotypes, such as cellular proliferation, epithelial‑mesenchymal transition, metastatic potential, immune evasion and treatment resistance. The present review aimed to discuss the importance of Wnt signaling and exosomal miRNAs in regulating the occurrence and development of BC. In addition, the present review determined the crosstalk between Wnt signaling and exosomal miRNAs, and highlighted potential diagnostic biomarkers and therapeutic targets.
