SNORA47 affects stemness and chemotherapy sensitivity via EBF3/RPL11/c-Myc axis in luminal A breast cancer

Le résumé fourni par la source

Chemotherapy sensitivity is an important factor that restricts the prognosis of breast cancer, and breast cancer stem cells (BCSCs) are the root cause of chemotherapy sensitivity. SNORA47, a member of the small nucleolar RNAs, has not been documented in the context of breast cancer, although it has been reported in lung cancer. In this study, high SNORA47 expression was linked to unfavorable survival outcomes among patients with Luminal A breast cancer in The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA). Among Luminal A patients, an elevated expression of SNORA47 correlated with high TNM stage (P = 0.049). SNORA47 was strongly associated with breast cancer stemness phenotype and tumor sensitivity in vivo and in vitro. Our findings demonstrated that SNORA47, through its interaction with early B-cell factor 3(EBF3), facilitated the translocation of ribosomal protein L11(RPL11), which as a modulator that subsequently regulates the expression levels of the oncogene c-Myc. These discoveries provided novel insights into the molecular mechanisms of breast cancer progression and suggested potential therapeutic targets for overcoming drug sensitivity by disrupting the SNORA47-EBF3-RPL11 axis.
