ABSTRACT
Breast cancer (BC) is the most prevalent malignant tumor in women worldwide with high morbidity and mortality. NSUN2, a crucial RNA methyltransferase, plays a pivotal role in regulating the proliferation and metastasis of tumor cells. Our study demonstrated that NSUN2 is upregulated in BC tissues and cell lines, and its high expression is associated with a poor prognosis in BC patients. Knockout of NSUN2 exerted inhibitory effects on the proliferation and migration of BC cells in vitro and in vivo. Mechanistic investigations revealed that the RNA-binding protein ELAVL1 can bind to NSUN2 mRNA and increase its stability. Additionally, we identified HOST2, a long non-coding RNA, as a key player in blocking the ubiquitin-dependent proteasomal degradation of ELAVL1, thereby influencing the stability of NSUN2 mRNA. In conclusion, this study revealed for the first time that HOST2 maintains NSUN2 mRNA stability by blocking ubiquitin-dependent degradation of ELAVL1, which in turn affects BC progression. HOST2/ELAVL1/NSUN2 oncogenic cascade has the potential to be a novel therapeutic target for BC.
