Abstract

Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are dysregulated in many cancer types, which are believed to play crucial roles in regulating several hallmarks of cancer biology. Triple Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC) is a very aggressive subtype of normal breast cancer, which has features of negativity for ER, PR, and HER2. Great efforts have been made to identify an association between lncRNAs expression profiles and TNBC, and to understand the functional role and molecular mechanism on aberrant-expressed lncRNAs. In this review, we summarized the existed knowledge on the systematics, biology, and function of lncRNAs. The advances from the most recent studies of lncRNAs in the predicament of breast cancer, TNBC, are highlighted, especially the functions of specifically selected lncRNAs. We also discussed the potential value of these lncRNAs in TNBC, providing clues for the diagnosis and treatments of TNBC.
