Long Non-coding RNA NR2F1-AS1 Induces Breast Cancer Dormancy in Lungs by Regulating NR2F1 and ΔNp63
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: We show that the epithelial-like and mesenchymal-like subpopulations of breast cancer stem-like cells (BCSCs) demonstrate different levels dormancy and tumorigenicity in lungs. The long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) molecule NR2F1-AS1 (NAS1) is up-regulated in the dormant BCSC subpopulation, and functionally promotes tumor dissemination but reduces proliferation in lungs. Mechanically, NAS1 promotes internal ribosome entry site (IRES)-mediated NR2F1 translation, leading to inhibition of ΔNp63 transcription by NR2F1. Further, ΔNp63 downregulation results in epithelial-mesenchymal transition, reduced tumorigenicity and enhanced dormancy of cancer cells in lungs.
