Oncogenic action of the exosome cofactor RBM7 by stabilization of CDK1 mRNA in breast cancer.

ABSTRACT: RNA exosome can target the specific RNAs for their processing/degradation by distinct exosome cofactors. As a key component in exosome cofactors, RNA binding motif protein 7 (RBM7) shows the binding specificity for uridine-rich sequences in mRNAs via its RNA recognition motifs. However, the specific function of RBM7 in human breast cancer remains unclear. In vitro, experiments revealed that knockdown of RBM7 dramatically inhibited breast cancer cell proliferation, while inducing G1 cell cycle arrest; the opposite was true when RBM7 was overexpressed. Meanwhile, experiments in vivo confirmed the oncogenic function of RBM7 in breast cancer. RNA sequencing and the following pathway analysis found that cyclin-dependent kinase1 (CDK1) was one of the main gene regulated by RBM7. Overexpression o
