Abstract

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are involved in cancer progression. In the present study, we analyzed the lncRNA profiles in adriamycin-resistant and -sensitive breast cancer cells and found a group of dysregulated lncRNAs in the adriamycin-resistant cells. Expression of the dysregulated lncRNAs was correlated with dysregulated mRNAs, and these were enriched in GO and KEGG pathways associated with cancer progression and chemoresistance development. Among these lncRNA-mRNA interactions, some lncRNAs may cis‑regulate neighboring protein-coding genes and be involved in chemoresistance. We then validated that the lncRNA NONHSAT028712 regulated nearby CDK2 and interfered with the cell cycle and chemoresistance. Furthermore, we identified another group of lncRNAs that trans-regulated genes by interacting with different transcription factors. For example, NONHSAT057282 and NONHSAG023333 modulated chemoresistance and most likely interacted with the transcription factors ELF1 and E2F1, respectively. In conclusion, in the present study, we report for the first time the lncRNA expression patterns in adriamycin-resistant breast cancer cells, and provide a group of novel lncRNA targets that mediate chemoresistance development in both cis- and trans-action modes.
