Unlike other types of breast cancer, triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) does not respond to therapies targeting human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER2) or hormone therapy, and the prognosis of patients with TNBC is usually poor. The role of long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) small nucleolar RNA host gene 10 (SNHG10) has been investigated in many types of cancer, but its role in TNBC is unknown. This study aimed to explore the role of SNHG10 in TNBC in the context of doxorubicin treatment, a common therapy for TNBC.

The expression level of miR-152 was detected in human breast cancer tissue and a panel of human breast cancer cell lines using qRT-PCR. Results found that miR-152 expression was significantly downregulated in breast cancer tissue samples compared to adjacent noncancerous tissues as well as in breast cancer cell lines.
