Breast cancer (BC) is accountable for a large number of female-related malignancies that lead to lethality worldwide. Various factors are considered in the occurrence of BC, including the deregulation of cancer stem cells (CSCs) and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). Genetic factors such as microRNAs (miRs) are crucially responsible for BC progression and aggressiveness. Hence, the association of miRs and EMT regulators (e.g., Wnt signaling pathway) is of importance. In the present review, we accurately discussed this interplay (interaction between Wnt and miRs) concerning cell - invasion, -migration, -differentiation, -chemoresistance, survival, and-proliferation, and BC prognosis. The putative therapeutic agents, multidrug resistance (MDR) evade, and possible molecular targets are described as well.
