Aim and Background: For the first time in this study, we investigated the expression level of lncRNA GAPLINC in metastatic and non-metastatic triple-negative breast cancer tissue samples using real-time PCR technique in order to find a possible marker in the diagnosis of metastatic triple-negative breast cancer.
Materials and Methods: After selecting the candidate lncRNA and designing primers on target gene sequence, the expression level of lncRNA GAPLINC was quantified using RT-qPCR with specific primers and SYBR Green on 50 fresh tissue samples, including 20 triple-negative metastatic and 20 non-metastatic breast cancer tissues, and 10 control tissue samples. The internal control used in this study included the β-actin gene, a more suitable control in terms of stability of expression compared to other genes in breast cancer molecular tests. GraphPad Prism software was used for statistical analysis and Adj. p-value < 0.05 was considered as a significant level.
Results: An increase was observed in the expression level of lncRNA GAPLINC in triple-negative breast cancer samples compared to non-metastatic triple-negative breast cancer samples, with Adj. p-value < 0.05.
Conclusion: GAPLINC can serve as a potential biomarker in the diagnosis of metastatic from non-metastatic breast cancer.
