Abstract The minichromosome maintenance protein 10 (MCM10) is one of the MCM proteins that initiate DNA replication by interacting with CDC45‐MCM2–7. It has been reported that MCM10 has a role in breast cancer progression. However, MCM10 in breast cancer is still not comprehensively studied and further research is needed. This study was aimed at investigating the potential effects of MCM10 on metastasis, the prognosis of breast carcinoma, and its underlying mechanisms. Using the ONCOMINE database and the Kaplan‐Meier Plotter, MCM10 was significantly overexpressed in cancers, and high expression of MCM10 was involved in the poor prognosis of breast carcinoma. MCM10 can promote the proliferation, migration, and invasion of MDA‐MB‐231 cells. MCM10 knockdown brought about a radical reversal in cell behaviors. Meanwhile, decreased expression of β‐catenin and cyclin Dl was detected in MCM10 short hairpin RNA cells, implying that MCM10 might induce breast cancer metastasis via the Wnt/β‐catenin pathway.MCM10 can be defined as a potential diagnostic tool and a promising target for breast carcinoma.
