Abstract

Radiotherapy has an essential role in breast cancer treatment. However, tumor cells may be resistant to radiotherapy. Noncoding RNAs are considered regulators of different pathways which modulate radiotherapy. This systematic review classifies long noncoding RNAs, and microRNAs precipitated in the radiation response of breast cancer patients. A total of 14 microRNAs and 8 long noncoding RNAs were studied in this review. MiR-22, miR-200 c, Let7, and LINP1 as tumor suppressors increase the effect of radiotherapy in BC. However, some noncoding RNAs such as HOTAIR, NEAT1, and miR-21 are precipitated in radio-resistance breast cancers. Significant changes in the pattern of noncoding RNAs expression before and after radiotherapy make them a good candidate for the prognosis and prediction of radiotherapy response. MiR-21 and miR-182 can promote radio-resistance via cancer stem cells. At last, the molecular mechanisms initiating radio-resistance were also examined to find the candidate noncoding RNAs for the development of radiation-sensitized agents. © 2022 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group.
