Extrachromosomal circular SUZ12 amplicon dictates retinoblastoma progression through reprogramming H3K27 methylation [RNA-seq]
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Extrachromosomal circular DNA (eccDNA) is double-stranded circular DNA that is derived from but independent of chromosomal DNA. Owing to its nonchromosomal inheritance, eccDNA facilitates the amplification of oncogenes and expedites the process of genome evolution in tumor. However, the role of eccDNA in RB remains enigmatic. Herein, we identified a set of SUZ12-containing eccDNAs in RB. Through multiomics analyses, we demonstrated that SUZ12 contributes to elevated levels of H3K27me3 modification and subsequently inhibits the transcription of KLF4 during the oncogenic progression of retinoblastoma. Conclusively, our study unveiled a novel SUZ12-containing eccDNA/H3K27me3 oncogenic mechanism where eccDNA dictates retinoblastoma progression through regulating transcription levels of linear DNA.
