Abstract

AbstractAdenosine (A) to inosine (I) RNA editing catalyzed by adenosine deaminases acting on RNA (ADAR) enzymes is a post-transcriptional modification that emerged as a key player in tumorigenesis and cancer progression. Antizyme inhibitor 1 (AZIN1) is one of the most frequent A-to-I RNA alterations in many human cancers. RNA-edited AZIN1 is known to confer a gain-of-function phenotype associated with aggressive tumors. However, the functional impact of RNA-edited AZIN1 in cancer angiogenesis remains unexplored. We showed here that RNA-edited AZIN1 promoted tumor angiogenesis through the upregulation of IL-8 via in vitro and in vivo experiments. And we subsequently demonstrated that delaying c-Myc degradation by OAZ2-mediated ubiquitin-independent proteasome pathway contributed to increase mRNA level and the secretion of angiogenic factor IL-8. Our study suggests an important contribution of RNA-edited AZIN1 to the tumor vascular microenvironment and highlights its translational potential. Thus, we revealed a potential approach to explore small-molecule antagonists such as reparixin attenuating IL-8 signaling for treatment of human cancer patients detected with hyper-editing.
