Abstract
Breast cancer is a multifaceted and prevalent malignancy, impacting a considerable proportion of women globally. Numerous signaling pathways intricately regulate cellular functions such as growth, proliferation, and survival. Among the various regulators, lncRNAs have emerged as significant players despite their inability to encode proteins. An expanding body of literature underscores the pivotal roles lncRNAs play in cancer biology, particularly in the context of breast cancer. Autophagy, the cellular process dedicated to the degradation and recycling of cellular components, is now recognized as a crucial factor in cancer initiation and progression. The interplay between lncRNAs, various signaling pathways, and autophagy in the pathophysiology of breast cancer remains an active area of investigation. Researchers have identified specific lncRNAs that are dysregulated in breast cancer patients, influencing the modulation of key signaling pathways. Using experimental methodologies and bioinformatics approaches, multiple lncRNAs have been elucidated, providing deeper insights into their contributions to breast cancer pathogenesis and metastatic processes. In summary, the pathophysiological landscape of breast cancer is characterized by the complex interactions involving lncRNA-mediated autophagy. This understanding paves the way for identifying novel therapeutic targets, prognostic markers, and diagnostic markers, ultimately contributing to improved treatment outcomes in breast cancer management.
