Abstract

Background Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women around the world, and the molecular mechanisms of breast cancer progression and metastasis are still unclear. This study aims to clarify the function and N6,2 '-O-dimethyladenosine (m6A) regulation of lncRNA MIR210HG in breast cancer. Results High expression of MIR210HG was confirmed in breast cancer. MIR210HG promoted breast cancer progression, which was mediated by its encoded miR-210. MIR210HG was regulated by IGF2BP1 mediated m6A modification. IGF2BP1 was confirmed highly expressed in breast cancer and induced both MIR210HG and miR-210 expression, which contributed to breast cancer progression. In addition, MIR210HG transcript was stabilized by IGF2BP1 and co-factor ELAVL1. IGF2BP1 was a direct target of MYCN via E-box binding motif. MYCN induced IGF2BP1 expression in breast cancer cells. MIR210HG and miR-210 expressions were also increased by MYCN. Conclusions In breast cancer, MIR210HG functions as an oncogenic lncRNA, which is also mediated by its encoded miR-210. In addition, both IGF2BP1 and ELAVL1 enhance the stability of MIR210HG, which contributes to the progression of breast cancer. Interestingly, IGF2BP1 is directly activated by MYCN, which explains the oncogenic role of MYCN. These findings clarify the m6A regulation related molecular mechanism of breast cancer progression. The MYCN/IGF2BP1/MIR210HG axis may serve as an alternative molecular mechanism of breast cancer progression.
