Transcriptional profiling of differentially expressed long non-coding RNAs in breast cancer

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are subclass of noncoding RNAs that have been recently shown to play critical roles in cancer biology. However, little is known about their mechanistic role in breast cancer pathogenesis, especially in triple-negative breast carcinomas (TNBC) that have particular poor outcomes. This study was specifically designed to identify the signatures relevant lncRNAs in breast cancer and characterize lncRNAs that modulate the phenotype. Here we provide detailed methods and analysis of microarray data, which is deposited in the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) with the accession number GSE64790. The basic analysis as contained in the manuscript published in Oncotarget with the PMID 26078338. These data can be used to further elucidate the mechanisms of breast cancer.
