ABSTRACT
Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is currently the most malignant subtype of breast cancer without effective targeted therapies, which makes its pathogenesis an important target for research. A growing number of studies have shown that non-coding RNA (ncRNA), including microRNA (miRNA) and long non-coding RNA (lncRNA), plays a significant role in tumorigenesis. This review summarizes the roles of miRNA and lncRNA in the progression, diagnosis, and neoadjuvant chemotherapy of TNBC. Aberrantly expressed miRNA and lncRNA are listed according to their roles. Further, it describes the multiple mechanisms that lncRNA shows for regulating gene expression in the nucleus and cytoplasm, and more importantly, describes lncRNA-regulated TNBC progression through complete combining with miRNA at the post-transcriptional level. Focusing on miRNA and lncRNA associated with TNBC can provide new insights for early diagnosis and treatment-they can be targeted in the future as a novel anticancer target of TNBC.

Based on the conserved region nucleotide sequences of five potato viruses/viroid(Alfalfa Mosaic Virus,ALMV;Cucumber mosaic virus,CMV;Cucumber mosaic virus-satellite,CMV-sat;Potato virus Y,PVY;Potato spindle tuber viroid,PSTVd) and one inner control(18S rRNA),the microarray containing specific oligonucleotide probes and PCR probes were designed and fabricated.The effects of probe concentration,hybridization time,hybridization temperature and spotting solutions on microarray hybridiazation were evaluated.Finally the specificity of optimized plant virus detection array was validated.No significant effect on hybridization signal intensity was observed when the concentration of the oligonucleotide probes ranged from 5 to 20 ?mol/L,there was a linear relationship between the concentration of PCR probe and hybridization signal intensity.The greatest signal intensity were obtained when hybridized at 45℃ for 4 h,and the oligonucleotide probes and PCR probes had a similar effect on microarray hybrization.Among the different spotting solutions,DMSO produced a good reproducibility.The plant virus could be detected specifically by oligonucleotide probe microarray and PCR probe microarray after optimization.
