Comprehensive analysis of the aberrantly expressed lncRNA‑associated ceRNA network in breast cancer.

ABSTRACT: Previous studies have suggested that long non‑coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are closely associated with human diseases, particularly cancer, including cancer of the lung, breast and stomach. A variety of lncRNAs are abnormally expressed in cancer and participate in several pathways including cell proliferation and apoptosis; these elements are closely associated with the development of cancer. The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) is an important cancer database. It consists of clinical data, genomic variation, mRNA, microRNA (miRNA) and lncRNAs expression, methylation and other data for various types of human cancer. In the present study, differential expression of RNA was identified using the edgeR package. A total 1,222 RNA sequencing profiles from patients with breast cancer were downloaded from TCGA
