RNA binding protein ZCCHC24 promotes tumorigenicity in triple-negative breast cancer.
Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) lacks the expression of hormone and HER2 receptors and is highly malignant with no effective therapeutic targets. In TNBC, the cancer stem-like cell (CSC) population is considered to be the main cause of resistance to treatment. Thus, the therapeutic targeting of this population could substantially improve patient survival. Here, we identify the RNA-binding protein ZCCHC24 as enriched in the mesenchymal-like TNBC population. ZCCHC24 promotes the expression of a set of genes related to tumorigenicity and treatment resistance by directly binding to the cis-element "UGUWHWWA" in their mRNAs, thereby stabilizing them. One of the ZCCHC24 targets, ZEB1, is a transcription factor that promotes the expression of cancer stemness genes and reciprocally induces ZCCHC24 expression. ZCCHC24 knockdown by siRNAs shows a therapeutic effect and reduces the mesenchymal-like cell population in TNBC patient-derived xenografts. ZCCHC24 knockdown also has additive effects with the BET inhibitor JQ1 in suppressing tumor growth in TNBC patient-derived xenografts.
期刊介绍:
EMBO Reports is a scientific journal that specializes in publishing research articles in the fields of molecular biology, cell biology, and developmental biology. The journal is known for its commitment to publishing high-quality, impactful research that provides novel physiological and functional insights. These insights are expected to be supported by robust evidence, with independent lines of inquiry validating the findings.
The journal's scope includes both long and short-format papers, catering to different types of research contributions. It values studies that:
Communicate major findings: Articles that report significant discoveries or advancements in the understanding of biological processes at the molecular, cellular, and developmental levels.
Confirm important findings: Research that validates or supports existing knowledge in the field, reinforcing the reliability of previous studies.
Refute prominent claims: Studies that challenge or disprove widely accepted ideas or hypotheses in the biosciences, contributing to the correction and evolution of scientific understanding.
Present null data: Papers that report negative results or findings that do not support a particular hypothesis, which are crucial for the scientific process as they help to refine or redirect research efforts.
EMBO Reports is dedicated to maintaining high standards of scientific rigor and integrity, ensuring that the research it publishes contributes meaningfully to the advancement of knowledge in the life sciences. By covering a broad spectrum of topics and encouraging the publication of both positive and negative results, the journal plays a vital role in promoting a comprehensive and balanced view of scientific inquiry.
