ABSTRACT
The ATR-Chk1 pathway is essential in cellular responses to DNA damage and replication stress, whereas the role of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) in regulating this pathway remains largely unknown. In this study, we identify an ATR and Chk1 interacting lncRNA (ACIL, also known as LRRC75A-AS1 or SNHG29), which promotes the phosphorylation of Chk1 by ATR upon DNA damages. High ACIL levels are associated with chemoresistance to DNA damaging agents and poor outcome of breast cancer patients. ACIL knockdown sensitizes breast cancer cells to DNA damaging drugs in vitro and in vivo. ACIL protects cancer cells against DNA damages by inducing cell cycle arrest, stabilizing replication forks and inhibiting unscheduled origin firing, thereby guarding against replication catastrophe and contributing to DNA damage repair. These findings demonstrate a lncRNA-dependent mechanism of activating the ATR-Chk1 pathway and highlight the potential of utilizing ACIL as a predictive biomarker for chemotherapy sensitivity, as well as targeting ACIL to reverse chemoresistance in breast cancer.
