Abnormal long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) expression plays an important role in tumor invasion and metastasis. Here, we show that lncRNA LY6E divergent transcript (LY6E-DT) levels are increased in breast cancer (BC) tissues. Transcription factor SP3 binds directly to the LY6E-DT promoter, activating its transcription. Moreover, LY6E-DT N6-methyladenosine modification by methyltransferase-like protein 14 (METTL14) promotes its expression, dependent on the "reader" insulin-like growth factor 2 mRNA binding protein 1(IGF2BP1)-dependent pathway. Notably, we discovered that the lncRNA LY6E-DT encodes a conserved 153-aa protein, "Metastatic-Related Protein" (MRP). Both LY6E-DT and MRP promote BC invasion and metastasis, and MRP expression could distinguish BC patients with lymph node metastasis from those without. Mechanistically, MRP binds heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoproteins C1/C2 (HNRNPC), enhancing the interaction between HNRNPC and epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mRNA, increasing EGFR mRNA stability and protein expression and subsequently activating the phosphatidylinositol 3‑kinase/protein kinase B signaling (PI3K) pathway. LncRNA LY6E-DT promotes the interaction between Y box binding protein 1 (YBX1) and importin α1 and increases YBX1 protein entry into the nucleus, where it transcriptionally activates zinc finger E-box-binding homeobox 1(ZEB1). Our findings uncover a novel regulatory mechanism underlying BC invasion orchestrated by LY6E-DT and its encoded MRP.
