SNORD47, a box C/D snoRNA, suppresses tumorigenesis in glioblastoma

چکیده
SNORD47 is a member of the C/D box small nucleolar RNAs, which have been implicated in cancer development. We intended to investigate the therapeutic potential of SNORD47 in glioma. We found that the expression of SNORD47 was downregulated in glioma tissues samples and inversely associated with advanced tumor stage (WHO grade IV). Kaplan-Meier survival analysis revealed that glioma patients with high SNORD47 expression had longer overall survival than those with low SNORD47 expression. SNORD47 suppressed the proliferation of glioma cells and induced G2 phase arrest. In addition, upregulation of SNORD47 suppressed invasion and epithelial-mesenchymal transition in glioma cells, and combination treatment with lenti-SNORD47 could augment the anti-tumor effect of temozolomide. These results showed that SNORD47 acted as a tumor suppressor in glioma, and provided the potential anti-tumor function in glioma treatment.

SNORD76, a box C/D snoRNA, acts as a tumor suppressor in glioblastoma
Glioblastoma (GBM) is associated with disproportionately high morbidity and mortality, reflecting the need to develop new diagnostic and therapeutic targets for this disease. Recently, accumulating evidence has suggested that small nucleolar RNAs (snoRNAs) are gaining prominence and are more actively involved in tumorigenesis than previously thought. However, no report concerning the implicatio...

Most small nucleolar RNAs (snoRNAs) fall into two families, known as the box C/D and box H/ACA snoRNAs. The various box elements are essential for snoRNA production and for snoRNA-directed modification of rRNA nucleotides. In the case of the box C/D snoRNAs, boxes C and D and an adjoining stem form a vital structure, known as the box C/D motif. Here, we examined expression of natural and artifi...

The C and D box-containing (box C/D) small nucleolar RNAs (snoRNAs) function in the nucleolytic processing and 2'-O-methylation of precursor rRNA. In vertebrates, most box C/D snoRNAs are processed from debranched pre-mRNA introns by exonucleolytic activities. Elements directing accurate snoRNA excision are located within the snoRNA itself; they comprise the conserved C and D boxes and an adjoi...

The loss of HBII-52 and related C/D box small nucleolar RNA (snoRNA) expression units have been implicated as a cause for the Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS). We recently found that the C/D box snoRNA HBII-52 changes the alternative splicing of the serotonin receptor 2C pre-mRNA, which is different from the traditional C/D box snoRNA function in non-mRNA methylation. Using bioinformatic predictions...
متن کاملGeneration of a Mouse Model with Down-Regulated U50 snoRNA (SNORD50) Expression and Its Organ-Specific Phenotypic Modulation
Box C/D-type small nucleolar RNAs (snoRNAs) are functional RNAs responsible for mediating 2'-O-ribose methylation of ribosomal RNAs (rRNAs) within the nucleolus. In the past years, evidence for the involvement of human U50 snoRNA in tumorigenesis has been accumulating. We previously identified U50HG, a non-protein-coding gene that hosted a box C/D-type U50 snoRNA, in a chromosomal breakpoint in...
