HNRNPC stabilizes m6A-modified AC145207.5 to accelerate tumorigenesis in colorectal cancer by impeding the Nrf2/GPX4 axis-mediated ferroptosis
Ferroptosis is an apoptosis-independent cell death pathway characterized by heightened lipid peroxidation, which shows promise for tumor suppression. Despite extensive research on long non-coding RNAs (LncRNAs) in ferroptosis, their role in colorectal cancer (CRC) remains underexplored. We investigated the upregulation of AC145207.5 and HNRNPC expression in CRC tissues through public dataset analysis and in-house validation, identifying them as having significant diagnostic potential. In vitro experiments including MTS assay, transwell, and colony formation, alongside in vivo studies using xenograft models, elucidated the synergistic carcinogenic role of the HNRNPC/AC145207.5 axis in promoting the malignant characteristics of CRC. Mechanistically, the m6A reader HNRNPC stabilized m6A-modified AC145207.5, contributing to its stabilization and upregulation. Consequently, AC145207.5 activated the Nrf2/GPX4 axis, resulting in increased GPX4 expression, inhibition of GPX4-mediated ferroptosis, and facilitation of CRC progression. Our findings underscore the clinical relevance of the HNRNPC/AC145207.5 axis in CRC and illuminate its regulatory role in ferroptosis, suggesting implications for targeted precision medicine in CRC.
期刊介绍:
Non-coding RNA Research aims to publish high quality research and review articles on the mechanistic role of non-coding RNAs in all human diseases. This interdisciplinary journal will welcome research dealing with all aspects of non-coding RNAs-their biogenesis, regulation and role in disease progression. The focus of this journal will be to publish translational studies as well as well-designed basic studies with translational and clinical implications. The non-coding RNAs of particular interest will be microRNAs (miRNAs), small interfering RNAs (siRNAs), small nucleolar RNAs (snoRNAs), U-RNAs/small nuclear RNAs (snRNAs), exosomal/extracellular RNAs (exRNAs), Piwi-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) and long non-coding RNAs. Topics of interest will include, but not limited to: -Regulation of non-coding RNAs -Targets and regulatory functions of non-coding RNAs -Epigenetics and non-coding RNAs -Biological functions of non-coding RNAs -Non-coding RNAs as biomarkers -Non-coding RNA-based therapeutics -Prognostic value of non-coding RNAs -Pharmacological studies involving non-coding RNAs -Population based and epidemiological studies -Gene expression / proteomics / computational / pathway analysis-based studies on non-coding RNAs with functional validation -Novel strategies to manipulate non-coding RNAs expression and function -Clinical studies on evaluation of non-coding RNAs The journal will strive to disseminate cutting edge research, showcasing the ever-evolving importance of non-coding RNAs in modern day research and medicine.
