description <b>Abstract</b>: Background Growing evidences have showed that mucins (MUCs) are linked to occurrence and progression of human cancers. However, a comprehensive study regarding the expression, diagnosis, prognosis and mechanism of MUCs in breast cancer remains absent. <b>Methods:</b> A series of in silico analyses were employed in this study. <b>Results:</b> After performing comprehensive analysis for MUCs, MUC14 was identified as the most potential regulator in breast cancer, with downregulated expression in both mRNA and protein levels and significant diagnostic and prognostic values in breast cancer. Mechanistic exploration revealed that a potential ncRNA-mRNA axis, involving LINC01128/LINC01140/SGMS1-AS1/LINC00667-miR-137/miR-429-BCL2, might be partially responsible for MUC14′s functions in breast cancer. <b>Conclusions:</b> Collectively, our study elucidated a key role of MUC14 in breast cancer and also provided some clues for explanation of the molecular action mechanism of MUC14 in breast cancer.
