Abstract

AbstractBackgroundCarcinoma of the breast, a prevailing factor in female mortality worldwide, involves dysregulation of lncRNAs and microRNAs.AimThe main goal of this research was to predict and experimentally examine the LINC01405 expression status in breast cancer subtypes, along with investigation of its interaction with miR‐29b and miR‐497‐5p that results in regulating PI3‐Kinase, WNT, and TGF‐beta signaling pathways.Methods and ResultsWe performed a meta‐analysis of five GEO datasets, encompassing microarray and RNA‐seq data, to identify differentially expressed genes. The Cancer Genome Atlas transcriptome dataset was also analyzed to determine essential gene modules, associated with different stages of breast cancer by weighted gene co‐expression networks. In addition, networks of drug‐gene interactions were constructed to explore potential treatment options. LINC01405 as a microRNA sponge was chosen and examined. furthermore, downstream target genes were discovered.Experimental validation consisted of plasmid constructs used in cell culture experiments, RT‐qPCR for expression analysis, and cell cycle assays. Our bioinformatics findings showed higher LINC01405 expression in Basal‐like triple‐negative breast carcinoma. In contrast, lower expression in Luminal samples was observed compared with normal samples, which was consistently observed in both breast cancer tissues and cell lines. LINC01405 expression level was correlated with miR‐29b and miR‐497 levels. The MDA‐MB‐231 cell line demonstrated higher LINC01405 expression and lower miR‐29b and miR‐497 expression levels. However, SKBR3 and MCF7 cells had lower LINC01405 expression and higher miR‐29b and miR‐497 levels, suggesting a regulatory role for LINC01405 as a competing endogenous RNA. This was experimentally confirmed when LINC01405 was overexpressed in SKBR3 cells, and the common target genes of miR‐29b and miR‐497 were upregulated. Additionally, LINC01405 upregulation led to the increased cell populations, proliferation, and upregulation of critical cancer‐related genes, including AKT1, AKT3, mTOR, WNT3A, SMAD3, CYCLIN D1, CYCLIN D2, BCL2, and GSK3B.ConclusionWe revealed the differential expression of LINC01405 in several types of breast cancer and its role in regulating signaling pathways, potentially via scavenging miRNAs. These findings clarified the role of LINC01405 in breast cancer development and identified potential therapeutic targets.
