Abstract

Graphic abstract

Transfer RNAs (tRNAs) impact the development and progression of various cancers, but how individual tRNAs are modulated during triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) progression remains poorly understood. Here, we found that XPOT (Exportin-T), a nuclear export protein receptor of tRNAs, is associated with poor prognosis in breast cancer and directly orchestrates the nuclear export of a subset of tRNAs, subsequently promoting protein synthesis and proliferation of human TNBC cells. XPOT knockdown inhibited TNBC cell proliferation in vitro, and RNA-seq indicated that XPOT is involved in the completion of cytokinesis in TNBC cells. High-throughput sequencing of tRNA revealed that XPOT specifically influenced a subset of tRNA isodecoders involved in nucleocytoplasmic trafficking, including tRNA-Ala-AGC-10-1. Through codon preferential analysis and protein mass spectrometry, we found that XPOT preferentially transported nuclear tRNA-Ala-AGC-10-1 to the cytoplasm, driving the translation of TPR Repeat Protein 19 (TTC19). TTC19 is also indispensable for cytokinesis and proliferation of TNBC cells. Altogether, these findings provide a novel regulatory translation mechanism for preferential tRNA isodecoder nucleocytoplasmic transport through XPOT, which coordinates the spatial location of specific tRNA and the translation of mRNA to facilitate TNBC proliferation and progression. Targeting XPOT may be a novel therapeutic strategy for treating TNBC.
