A Novel tsRNA, m⁷G-3' tiRNA Lys^TTT, Promotes Bladder Cancer Malignancy Via Regulating ANXA2 Phosphorylation.

ABSTRACT: Emerging evidence indicates that transfer RNA (tRNA)-derived small RNAs (tsRNAs), originated from tRNA with high abundance RNA modifications, play an important role in many complex physiological and pathological processes. However, the biological functions and regulatory mechanisms of modified tsRNAs in cancer remain poorly understood. Here, it is screened for and confirmed the presence of a novel m⁷G-modified tsRNA, m⁷G-3'-tiRNA Lys^TTT (mtiRL), in a variety of chemical carcinogenesis models by combining small RNA sequencing with an m⁷G small RNA-modified chip. Moreover, it is found that mtiRL, catalyzed by the tRNA m⁷G-modifying enzyme mettl1, promotes bladder cancer (BC) malignancy in vitro and in vivo. Mechanistically, mtiRL is foun
