Research Abstract

In the cell nucleus, many RNA bodies are formed based on non-coding RNAs that are act as "seeds." This study revealed the molecular mechanisms of the ELEANOR RNA cloud formed in the nucleus of hormone-dependent breast cancer cells. It also focused on the nucleolus which is the largest nuclear RNA body. Specifically, we have elucidated that, in breast cancer, the ELEANOR non-coding RNAs regulate transcription of multiple genes within the ELEANOR-TAD (topologically associated domains) that is a mega base-scale chromatin domain. ELEANOR also mediates long-range chromatin interactions to equilibrate between cancer cell proliferation and apoptosis.
