LURAP1L-AS1 long noncoding RNA promotes breast cancer progression and associates with poor prognosis by Radhakrishnan Vishnubalaji, Dania Awata, Nehad M. Alajez

“…Bioinformatics analysis predicted LURAP1L-AS1 to function as a competitive endogenous RNA (ceRNA), sponging key microRNAs, such as miR-7a-5p, miR-101-3p, miR-181a-5p, and miR-27a-3p, thereby modulating oncogenes including EZH2, MCL1, and KRAS, which are linked to increased cancer cell survival, proliferation, and metastasis.In addition to its role in TNBC, correlation analysis using breast cancer patient datasets revealed a significant association between LURAP1L-AS1 and ESR1 expression, suggesting its broader impact across breast cancer subtypes. …”
