Breast cancer is a prevalent malignancy with high mortality and poor prognosis. Ropivacaine is a widely used local anesthetic and presents potential anti-tumor activity. Nevertheless, the function of ropivacaine in breast cancer development remains elusive. Here, we tried to investigate the impact of ropivacaine on breast cancer progression and the underlying mechanism. Significantly, we revealed that ropivacaine was able to reduce the proliferation and induce the apoptosis of breast cancer cells. Ropivacaine could attenuate the invasion and migration in the cells. Mechanically, ropivacaine could enhance the miR-27b-3p expression and miR-27b-3p inhibited breast cancer progression in breast cancer cells. MiR-27b-3p targeted YAP in the breast cancer cells. Ropivacaine decreased the breast cancer progression by modulating miR-27b-3p/YAP axis in vitro . Ropivacaine could inhibit tumor growth in vivo . In conclusion, we discovered that the local anesthetic ropivacaine inhibits the progression of breast cancer via the miR-27b-3p/YAP axis. Our finding presents novel insights into the mechanism of ropivacaine inhibiting the development of breast cancer. Ropivacaine may potentially serve as an anti-tumor candidate in the therapeutic strategy of breast cancer.
