LncRNA SLC26A4-AS1 suppresses the MRN complex-mediated DNA repair signaling and thyroid cancer metastasis by destabilizing DDX5

Lymph node metastasis is the major adverse feature for recurrence and death of thyroid cancer patients. To identify lncRNAs involved in thyroid cancer metastasis, we systemically screened differentially expressed lncRNAs in lymph node metastasis, thyroid cancer, and normal tissues via RNAseq. We found that lncRNA SLC26A4-AS1 was continuously, significantly down-regulated in normal tissues, thyroid cancer, and lymph node metastasis specimens. Low SLC26A4-AS1 levels in tissues were significantly associated with poor prognosis of thyroid cancer patients. LncRNA SLC26A4-AS1 markedly inhibited migration, invasion, and metastasis capability of cancer cells in vitro and in vivo. Intriguingly, SLC26A4-AS1 could simultaneously interact with DDX5 and the E3 ligase TRIM25, which promoting DDX5 degradation through the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway. In particular, SLC26A4-AS1 inhibited expression of multiple DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) repair genes, especially genes coding proteins in the MRE11/RAS50/NBS1 (MRN) complex. Enhanced interaction between DDX5 and transcriptional factor E2F1 due to silencing of SLC26A4-AS1 promoted binding of the DDX5-E2F1 complex at promoters of the MRN genes and, thus, stimulate the MRN/ATM dependent DSB signaling and thyroid cancer metastasis. Our study uncovered new insights into the biology driving thyroid cancer metastasis and highlights potentials of lncRNAs as future therapeutic targets again cancer metastasis.
