Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women, but few biomarkers are effective in clinic. Previous studies have shown the important roles of non-coding RNAs in diagnosis, prognosis, and therapy selection for breast cancer and have suggested the significance of integrating molecules at different levels to interpret the mechanism of breast cancer. Here, we collected transcriptome data including long non-coding RNA (lncRNA), microRNA (miRNA), and mRNA for ~1,200 samples, including 1079 invasive breast carcinoma samples and 104 normal samples, from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) project. We identified differentially expressed lncRNAs, miRNAs, and mRNAs that distinguished invasive carcinoma samples from normal samples. We further constructed an integrated dysregulated network consisting of differentially expressed lncRNAs, miRNAs, and mRNAs and found housekeeping and cancer-related functions. Moreover, 58 RNA binding proteins (RBPs) involved in biological processes that are essential to maintain cell survival were found in the dysregulated network, and 10 were correlated with overall survival. In addition, we identified two modules that stratify patients into high- and low-risk subgroups. The expression patterns of these two modules were significantly different in invasive carcinoma versus normal samples, and some molecules were high-confidence biomarkers of breast cancer. Together, these data demonstrated an important clinical application for improving outcome prediction for invasive breast cancers.
