     The overexpression of miR-630 in breast cancer cells that are resistant to HER-targeted drugs significantly restores the efficacy of those drugs (e.g., lapatinib, neratinib and afatinib), which indicates that miR-630 can be used as a diagnostic and predictive marker to gauge the treatment response to HER-targeted drugs.
