Deciphering the Complex Interplay of Long Noncoding RNAs and Aurora Kinases: Novel Insights into Breast Cancer Development and Therapeutic Strategies

Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer globally and presents an escalating problem and a huge burden on societies. Several strategies are implemented in clinics to treat patients and prevent disease incidence. Efforts to understand the underlying causes of disease emergence are pivotal, and the latest examination of human transcriptomic studies showed the involvement of the noncoding RNA regulatory molecules in influencing both pathological and physiological conditions. Several molecular mechanisms are involved in the process and collaborate to develop tumor plasticity and drug resistance. In this review, we highlight for the first time the interplay between long noncoding RNAs and Aurora kinases in breast cancer and review the latest advances in the field in an attempt to pave the way for a better understanding of the course of the disease and to delineate the targets for treatment strategies in the clinic.
