LncRNA-WAL Promotes Triple-Negative Breast Cancer Aggression by Inducing β-Catenin Nuclear Translocation.

ABSTRACT: Because of its insensitivity to existing radiotherapy, namely, chemotherapy and targeted treatments, triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) remains a great challenge to overcome. Increasing evidence has indicated abnormal Wnt/β-catenin pathway activation in TNBC but not luminal or HER2+ breast cancer, and lncRNAs play a key role in a variety of cancers. Through lncRNA microarray profiling between activated and inactivated Wnt/β-catenin pathway of TNBC tissues, lnc-WAL (Wnt/β-catenin-associated lncRNA; WAL) was selected as the top upregulated lncRNA in Wnt/β-catenin pathway activation compared with the inactivation group. RNA immunoprecipitation sequencing was used to compare the β-catenin and IgG groups, in which lnc-WAL could interact with β-catenin. Clinically, increased lnc-WAL in TNBC tu
