LINC00160 mediated paclitaxel-And doxorubicin-resistance in breast cancer cells by regulating TFF3 via transcription factor C/EBPβ.

ABSTRACT: Chemoresistance represents a major challenge in breast cancer (BC) treatment. This study aimed to probe the roles of LINC00160 in paclitaxel- and doxorubicin-resistant BC cells. Three pairs of BC and adjacent normal tissue were used for lncRNA microarray analysis. Paclitaxel-resistant MCF-7 (MCF-7/Tax) and doxorubicin-resistant BT474 (BT474/Dox) cells were generated by exposure of parental drug-sensitive MCF-7 or BT474 cells to gradient concentrations of drugs. Correlation between LINC00160 expression and clinical response to paclitaxel in BC patients was examined. Short interfering RNAs specifically targeting LINC00160 or TFF3 were designed to construct LINC00160- and TFF3-depleted BC cells to discuss their effects on biological episodes of MCF-7/Tax and BT474/Dox cells.
