Sabotaging of the oxidative stress response by an oncogenic noncoding RNA.

ABSTRACT: Overexpression of the multiple myeloma set domain (MMSET) Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome candidate 1 gene, which contains an orphan box H/ACA class small nucleolar RNA, ACA11, in an intron, is associated with several cancer types, including multiple myeloma (MM). ACA11 and MMSET are overexpressed cotranscriptionally as a result of the t(4;14) chromosomal translocation in a subset of patients with MM. RNA sequencing of CD138⁺ tumor cells from t(4;14)-positive and -negative MM patient bone marrow samples revealed an enhanced oxidative phosphorylation mRNA signature. Supporting these data, ACA11 overexpression in a t(4;14)-negative MM cell line, MM1.S, demonstrated enhanced reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels. In addition, an enhancement of cell proliferation, increased soft agar colony
