Expression signature of lncRNA APTR in clinicopathology of breast cancer: Its potential oncogenic function in dysregulation of ErbB signaling pathway

A growing amount of evidence has revealed that long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) play significant roles in malignancies through different mechanisms especially the competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA). They have also been shown to have the potential diagnostic, prognostic and therapeutic biomarker capacity in oncology research. Recently, lncRNA Alu-mediated p21 transcriptional regulator (APTR) has been proposed as an oncogenic lncRNA in development and...
