BACKGROUND: RNA -methyladenosine (mA) readers mediate cancer progression. However, the role of eiptranscriptomic modifications such as mA in the regulation of TNBC progression is unclear. METHODS: High-throughput library screening identifies the key mA regulator YTHDF3 in TNBC. Cell and animal experiments were used to identify that YTHDF3 promoted TNBC tumorigenesis to enhance Centromere protein I (CENPI) translation via mA modification. RESULTS: We showed that the -methyladenosine (mA) reader YTHDF3 was an independent risk factor in TNBC and was associated with poor prognosis of patients. Notedly, overexpression YTHDF3 promoted TNBC tumorigenesis in an mA modification, while TNBC knockdown markedly inhibited proliferation and migratory ability of tumor cells and in vivo. Mechanistically, Mechanistically, YTHDF3 interacted with Centromere protein I (CENPI) mRNAs to prolong stability of mA-modified RNA. CONCLUSION: Our findings indicated that mA reader YTHDF3 contributed to tumorigenesis and poor prognosis, providing a potential prognostic biomarker and therapeutic target for TNBC.
背景:RNA甲基腺苷(mA)阅读蛋白介导癌症进展。然而,诸如mA等表观转录组修饰在三阴性乳腺癌(TNBC)进展调控中的作用尚不清楚。 方法:高通量文库筛选确定了TNBC中的关键mA调节因子YTHDF3。利用细胞和动物实验确定YTHDF3通过mA修饰促进TNBC肿瘤发生以增强着丝粒蛋白I(CENPI)的翻译。 结果:我们发现,甲基腺苷(mA)阅读蛋白YTHDF3是TNBC的一个独立危险因素,与患者预后不良相关。值得注意的是,YTHDF3的过表达通过mA修饰促进TNBC肿瘤发生,而TNBC的敲低显著抑制肿瘤细胞在体内外的增殖和迁移能力。机制上,YTHDF3与着丝粒蛋白I(CENPI)mRNA相互作用以延长mA修饰RNA的稳定性。 结论:我们的研究结果表明,mA阅读蛋白YTHDF3促进肿瘤发生并导致预后不良,为TNBC提供了一个潜在的预后生物标志物和治疗靶点。
