Dysregulated lncRNAs in breast cancer

LncRNA Expression in Breast Cancer Biology
H19 Upregulated Promotes anchorage-independent growth, expression correlates with tumor grade, may lead to drug resistance. [1719, 104110]
GAS5 Downregulated Induces apoptosis, low expression associates with poor prognosis. [5053, 111, 112]
LSINCT5 Upregulated Enhances proliferation. [38]
HOTAIR Upregulated Enhances proliferation and metastasis, activates ligand-independent ER activation and possibly contributes to tamoxifen resistance. [45, 113116]
XIST Downregulated Inhibits cell viability and regulates X chromosome inactivation. [13, 14, 22, 23]
NEAT1 Upregulated Enhances Proliferation and Induces Apoptosis[3537]
MALAT1 Upregulated Promotes proliferation, invasion, migration, tumor progression, metastasis, and elevated expression associates with poor survival of ER-/lymph node negative patients and tamoxifen treated ER+ patients. [8, 3944]
lncRNA-ARA Upregulated in Adriamycin resistant cell lines Induces proliferation, decreases apoptosis, expression inversely correlates with Adriamycin sensitivity[117]
BC200 Upregulated Prognostic indicator of tumor progression and enhances cell growth [18, 118]
SOX2OT Upregulated Inhibits proliferation, enhances anchorage-independent growth, and may be involved in in maintaining a stem cell phenotype [119]
TreRNA Upregulated Enhances invasion and metastasis. [120]
UCA1 Upregulated Enhances proliferation, inhibits apoptosis, and possibly involved in tamoxifen resistance. [121, 122]
NKILA Downregulated Low expression associated with breast cancer metastasis and poor patient prognosis. [123]
ZFAS1 Downregulated Inhibits proliferation and differentiation. [55, 56]
lncRNA-ATB Upregulated in trastuzumab resistant tumors and cell lines Promotes trastuzumab resistance, enhances invasion, metastasis, and EMT. [124]
BCAR4 Upregulated Promotes proliferation, tumorigenesis, metastasis, potentially involved in tamoxifen resistance, and expression associates with poor survival. [125129]
lncRNA-HIT Upregulated Promotes migration, invasion, EMT, and metastasis. [130]
LINK-A Upregulated in TNBC Promotes tumorigenesis and glycolysis. [132]
JPX Downregulated Limits cell viability, activates XIST. [133]
PANDA Upregulated Prevents apoptosis. [134]
SRA Upregulated Enhances migration and tumorigenesis. [2832]
LINC00511 Upregulated Enriched in TNBC. [33]
91H Upregulated Promotes cell proliferation and tumorigenesis. [2426]
LINC00520 Upregulated Enhances migration and invasion[46]
Linc-ROR Upregulated Enriched in TNBC. Promotes EMT, invasion, metastasis, and multidrug resistance. [4749]
