Moreover, lncRNA-homeotic genes (HOX) transcript antisense RNA showed a pooled specificity of 0.89 (95% CI: 0.84-0.93) and AUC of 0.86, which were superior to performances by lncRNA-metastasis-associated lung adenocarcinoma transcript-1 and -H19 in diagnosing BC.
Additionally, we demonstrated that TALAM1 cooperates with MALAT1 in the regulation of the properties guiding breast cancer aggressiveness and malignancy.
In summary, this project provides further clarity concerning the function of Malat1, specifically in breast cancer, while also indicating that the Nischarin expression context is an important factor in the determining how Malat1 activity is governed in breast cancer.
In the present study, the expression of MALAT1 in clinical samples of breast cancer tissues was found to be significantly up-regulated that was consistent with the result based on the dataset of the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) at cBioportal.
Thus, our results indicate for the first time that MALAT1 is a novel regulator of EMT in breast cancer and may be a potential therapeutic target for breast cancer metastasis.
These findings demonstrate that MALAT1 is a metastasis-suppressing lncRNA rather than a metastasis promoter in breast cancer, calling for rectification of the model for this highly abundant and conserved lncRNA.
This is an exploratory study to assess the impact of 3 cancer-related long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) (H19, MALAT1 and GA5) in blood plasma of patients with BC in predicting the response to NAC.
In summary, this project provides further clarity concerning the function of Malat1, specifically in breast cancer, while also indicating that the Nischarin expression context is an important factor in the determining how Malat1 activity is governed in breast cancer.
In summary, we establish and characterize a non-canonical PTEN-microRNA-MALAT1 axis that regulates tumorigenesis and describe for the first time that the MALAT1 lncRNA possesses novel tumor suppressive properties in colon and breast cancers.
These findings demonstrate that MALAT1 is a metastasis-suppressing lncRNA rather than a metastasis promoter in breast cancer, calling for rectification of the model for this highly abundant and conserved lncRNA.
Our results highlight a key role for MALAT1 in control of VEGFA isoforms expression in breast cancer cells expressing gain-of-function mutant p53 and ID4 proteins.
These findings demonstrate that MALAT1 is a metastasis-suppressing lncRNA rather than a metastasis promoter in breast cancer, calling for rectification of the model for this highly abundant and conserved lncRNA.
In summary, this project provides further clarity concerning the function of Malat1, specifically in breast cancer, while also indicating that the Nischarin expression context is an important factor in the determining how Malat1 activity is governed in breast cancer.
Compared to normal tissues, BC tissues from both age groups (women under 45 years of age and women above 45 years of age) showed upregulation of MALAT1 (p = 0.003 and p = 0.0002), SRA (p = 0.005 and p = 0.0002), and NEAT1 (p = 0.010 and p = 0.0002) and downregulation of GAS5 (p = 0.0002 and p = 0.0005).
By performing the ROC curve analysis, we assumed that the diagnostic sensitivity and specificity for breast cancer were 83.7% and 81.2%, respectively for MALAT1 expression and 77.5% and 82.5% respectively for CA15-3 level.
