Abstract
Breast cancer is a malignant type with morbidity ranking the first of women globally. As widely acknowledged, there exist close links between ncRNA-mRNA axis and breast cancer. In this study, we first overviewed expression and prognostic values of pituitary tumor transforming gene (PTTGs) in breast cancer. Next, two binding miRNAs (miR-186-5p and miR-655-3p) of PTTG1 in breast cancer were identified. Subsequently, several potential upstream ncRNAs of PTTG1-miR-186-5p/miR-655-3p axis in breast cancer were successively screened out, consisting of 11 lncRNAs, 17 circRNAs and 12 pseudogene-derived RNAs. Enrichment analysis for downstream target genes of PTTG1-miR-186-5p/miR-655-3p axis revealed that this axis is associated with TGF-beta signaling and MAPK signaling pathways. Further investigation demonstrated AURKA was one of the most key hub genes. Collectively, we established a potential PTTG1-related ncRNA-mRNA regulatory network in breast cancer.
