Exploring ceRNA networks for key biomarkers in breast cancer subtypes and immune regulation.

ABSTRACT: Breast cancer is a major global health concern, and recent researches have highlighted the critical roles of non-coding RNAs in both cancer and the immune system. The competing endogenous RNA hypothesis suggests that various types of RNA, including coding and non-coding RNAs, compete for microRNA targets, acting as molecular sponges. This study introduces the Pre_CLM_BCS pipeline to investigate the potential of long non-coding RNAs and circular RNAs as biomarkers in breast cancer subtypes. The pipeline identifies specific modules within each subtype that contain at least one long non-coding RNA or circular RNA exhibiting significantly distinct expression patterns when compared to other subtypes. The results reveal potential biomarker genes for each subtype, such as circ_001845, circ_001124
