Abstract
tRNA derived fragments are differentiated expressed in human breast cancer( BC) tissues. Among of them, 5-tRF-His attracted our attention due to its potential role in breast cancer progression. PCR and in situ hybridization were used to measure the expression and location of 5-tRF-His. The role of 5-tRF-His in vitro was explored by cell proliferation assays and flow cytometery. The effect of 5-tRF-His in vivo was performed by Xenograft experiments and immunohistochemistry. We determined the derivation of 5-tRF-His by northern blot and clarified the mechanism of 5-tRF-His by immunoprecipitation and western blot. We observed that strong downregulation of 5-tRF-His in clinical BC samples. Reduced 5-tRF-His can lead to lymph node metastasis. 5-tRF-His, a tRNA-derived fragment linked to pan-ago, regulates the proliferation and apoptosis of BC cells and inhibits BC tumor growth explant tumor in vivo. The increase in proliferation and the decrease in apoptosis induced by the 5-tRF-His inhibitor were reversed by si-CKAP2. 5-tRF-His inhibits BC development in vivo and vitro. The 5-tRF-His/CKAP2/erk2 axis affects the proliferation and apoptosis of BC cells, imply that 5-tRF-His may be a promising tumor marker of BC patients serum and treatment target for BC therapy.
