    Abstract:
    Background: It is reported that long noncoding RNAs play an important role in human cancers, including breast cancer (BC). However, the effect of long intergenic non-protein coding RNA 1433 (LINC01433) on BC development remains elusive. Materials and Methods: The expression level of LINC01433 in BC cells and a normal breast epithelial cell (MCF-10A) was determined by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). A series of functional assays was applied to measure the bio-function of LINC01433 in BC. Bioinformatics analysis and mechanistic assays were utilized to disclose the underlying mechanism involved in the LINC01433-mediated BC cellular process. Results: qRT-PCR revealed that LINC01433 was highly expressed in BC cells. In function, LINC01433 depletion suppressed BC cell proliferation, migration, and epithelial-mesenchymal transition, but induced cell apoptosis. Mechanically, chromatin immunoprecipitation and luciferase reporter assays suggested that LINC01433 was activated by its upstream transcription factor MYC proto-oncogene (MYC). The interaction between LINC01433 and miR-2116-3p was verified in BC. Additionally, MYC was validated as a target gene of miR-2116-3p. Rescue assays demonstrated that LINC01433 promoted BC cellular process via regulating miR-2116-3p/MYC axis. Conclusion: Our findings revealed a novel positive feedback loop (LINC01433/miR-2116-3p/MYC) in BC progression and discovered the novel functional genes in this BC cellular process.
