Overexpression of VIRMA confers vulnerability to breast cancers via the mA-dependent regulation of unfolded protein response. | LitMetric

AI Article Synopsis

  • VIRMA is a crucial protein that stabilizes the mA writer complex, essential for modifying RNA, but its role in human diseases needs more exploration.
  • In breast cancer, VIRMA is found to be amplified and overexpressed in about 15-20% of cases, particularly promoting tumor growth through its full-length isoform.
  • The study reveals that increased VIRMA levels boost mA modification of certain long non-coding RNAs and activate UPR in stressful environments, presenting a potential target for cancer treatment strategies.

Article Abstract

Virilizer-like mA methyltransferase-associated protein (VIRMA) maintains the stability of the mA writer complex. Although VIRMA is critical for RNA mA deposition, the impact of aberrant VIRMA expression in human diseases remains unclear. We show that VIRMA is amplified and overexpressed in 15-20% of breast cancers. Of the two known VIRMA isoforms, the nuclear-enriched full-length but not the cytoplasmic-localised N-terminal VIRMA promotes mA-dependent breast tumourigenesis in vitro and in vivo. Mechanistically, we reveal that VIRMA overexpression upregulates the mA-modified long non-coding RNA, NEAT1, which contributes to breast cancer cell growth. We also show that VIRMA overexpression enriches mA on transcripts that regulate the unfolded protein response (UPR) pathway but does not promote their translation to activate the UPR under optimal growth conditions. Under stressful conditions that are often present in tumour microenvironments, VIRMA-overexpressing cells display enhanced UPR and increased susceptibility to death. Our study identifies oncogenic VIRMA overexpression as a vulnerability that may be exploited for cancer therapy.
