SNRPB2 promotes triple-negative breast cancer progression by controlling alternative splicing of MDM4 pre-mRNA.
Alternative splicing generates cancer-specific transcripts and is now recognized as a hallmark of cancer. However, the critical oncogenic spliceosome-related proteins involved in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) remain elusive. Here, we explored the expression pattern of spliceosome-related proteins in TNBC, non-TNBC, and normal breast tissues from The Cancer Genome Atlas breast cancer (TCGA-BRCA) cohort, revealing higher expression of nearly half of spliceosome-related proteins in TNBC than their counterparts. Among these TNBC-specific spliceosome-related proteins, the expression of SNRPB2 was associated with poor prognosis in patients with TNBC. In TNBC cells, the knockdown of SNRPB2 strongly suppressed cell proliferation and invasion and induced cell cycle arrest. Mechanistically, transcriptome data showed that SNRPB2 knockdown inactivated E2F1 signaling, which regulated the cell cycle. We further validated the downregulation of several cell cycle genes in SNRPB2 knockdown cells. Moreover, the analysis showed that SNRPB2 knockdown triggered the alteration of many alternative splicing events, most of which were skipping of exon. In TNBC cells, it was found that SNRPB2 knockdown led to the skipping of exon 6 in MDM4 pre-mRNA, generating MDM4-S transcript and downregulating MDM4 protein expression. More importantly, downregulation of MDM4 decreased retinoblastoma 1 (Rb1) protein expression, which is a target of MDM4 and a regulator of E2F1 signaling. In summary, the current study revealed an SNRPB2/MDM4/Rb axis in promoting the progression of TNBC, providing novel insights and novel targets for combating TNBC.
期刊介绍:
Cancer Science (formerly Japanese Journal of Cancer Research) is a monthly publication of the Japanese Cancer Association. First published in 1907, the Journal continues to publish original articles, editorials, and letters to the editor, describing original research in the fields of basic, translational and clinical cancer research. The Journal also accepts reports and case reports.
Cancer Science aims to present highly significant and timely findings that have a significant clinical impact on oncologists or that may alter the disease concept of a tumor. The Journal will not publish case reports that describe a rare tumor or condition without new findings to be added to previous reports; combination of different tumors without new suggestive findings for oncological research; remarkable effect of already known treatments without suggestive data to explain the exceptional result. Review articles may also be published.
