Annotation of the output with contextual information concerning the description of creative process and the content of the research/artistic/other activity, etc.	Canine mammary tumours (CMTs) are common in female dogs and represent a key model for studying human breast cancer (BC). Among the various subtypes of CMT, adenocarcinoma of the mammary gland (AMG) is one of the most prevalent and aggressive. In this study, we analysed the expression of 84 microRNAs (miRNAs) in AMG and healthy mammary tissues using qRT-PCR. MiRNA profiling in canine AMG tissue revealed upregulation of miR-101, miR-106b, miR-143, miR-15a, miR-205, and miR-93, and downregulation of let-7c, miR-10b, miR-191, and miR-26a. Pathway enrichment linked these deregulated miRNAs to key oncogenic networks, demonstrating conserved molecular mechanisms shared with human BC and highlighting their potential as biomarkers in CMTs. These findings provide insights into the molecular mechanisms of CMT adenocarcinoma and suggest the potential of miRNA-based biomarkers for the diagnosis and treatment of CMTs.

OCA16. Annotation of the output in English	A key model for studying human breast cancer (BC) represents the canine model of mammary gland tumours (CMT) in bitches. Among the various subtypes of CMT, adenocarcinoma of the mammary gland (AMG) is one of the most prevalent and aggressive. We analysed the expression of 84 microRNAs (miRNAs) in AMG and healthy mammary tissues using qRT-PCR. This exploratory study provides preliminary evidence that deregulated miRNAs may contribute to the molecular landscape of CMTs. The altered expression of miR-106b, miR-143, miR-93, let-7c, miR-191, and miR-26a suggests potential involvement in key oncogenic processes such as proliferation, angiogenesis, and epithelial–mesenchymal transition. These functional relationships highlight a potential translational bridge between mechanistic understanding and therapeutic application in human and veterinary oncology.
