At the molecular level, triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is frequently categorized as PAM50 basal-like subtype, but despite the advances in molecular analyses, the clinical outcome for these subtypes is uncertain. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are master regulators of genes involved in hallmarks of cancer, which makes them suitable biomarkers for breast cancer (BRCA) diagnosis and prognosis. Here, we evaluated the regulatory role of lncRNA SOX9-AS1 in these subtypes.

Breast cancer (BRCA) is a serious public health problem, as it is the most frequent malignant tumor in women worldwide. BRCA is a molecularly heterogeneous disease, particularly at gene expression (mRNAs) level. Recent evidence shows that coding RNAs represent only 34% of the total transcriptome in a human cell.

Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed neoplasm in women worldwide with a well-recognized heterogeneous pathology, classified into four molecular subtypes: Luminal A, Luminal B, HER2-enriched and Basal-like, each one with different biological and clinical characteristics. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) represent 33% of the human transcriptome and play critical roles in breast carcinogenesis, but most of their functions are still unknown. Therefore, cancer research could benefit from continued exploration into the biology of lncRNAs in this neoplasm.

Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) represents an aggressive phenotype with poor prognosis compared with ER, PR, and HER2-positive tumors. TNBC is a heterogeneous disease, and gene expression analysis has identified seven molecular subtypes. Accumulating evidence demonstrates that long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) are involved in regulation of gene expression and cancer biology, contributing to essential cancer cell functions.

Despite the use of the screening test, such as Papanicolaou, and the detection of human papillomavirus (HPV), cervical cancer remains as a public health problem in México and it is the second leading cause of death for malignant neoplasias among women. High-risk HPV infection is the main risk factor for the development of premalignant lesions and cervical cancer; however, HPV infection is not the only factor; there are various genetic and epigenetic alterations required for the development of neoplasias; some of them have been described and even in some cases they have been suggested as biomarkers for prognosis. However, in contrast with other cancer types, such as breast cancer, in cervical cancer the use of biomarkers has not been established for clinical applications.
