Background

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common malignancies and is characterized by reprogrammed metabolism. Ferroptosis, a programmed cell death dependent on iron, has emerged as a promising strategy for CRC treatment. Although small nucleolar RNAs are extensively involved in carcinogenesis, it is unclear if they regulate ferroptosis during CRC pathogenesis.

Methods

The dysregulated snoRNAs were identified using published sequencing data of CRC tissues. The expression of the candidate snoRNAs, host gene and target gene were assessed by real-time quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR), fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), immunohistochemistry (IHC) and western blots. The biological function of critical molecules was investigated using in vitro and in vivo strategies including Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK8), colony formation assay, flow cytometry, Fe2+/Fe3+, GSH/GSSG and the xenograft mice models. The ribosomal activities were determined by polysome profiling and O-propargyl-puromycin (OP-Puro) assay. The proteomics was conducted to clarify the downstream targets and the underlying mechanisms were validated by IHC, Pearson correlation analysis, protein stability and rescue assays. The clinical significance of the snoRNA was explored using the Cox proportional hazard model, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) and survival analysis.

Results

Here, we investigated the SNORA56, which was elevated in CRC tissues and plasma, and correlated with CRC prognosis. SNORA56 deficiency in CRC impaired proliferation and triggered ferroptosis, resulting in reduced tumorigenesis. Mechanistically, SNORA56 mediated the pseudouridylation of 28 S rRNA at the U1664 site and promoted the translation of the catalytic subunit of glutamate cysteine ligase (GCLC), an indispensable rate-limiting enzyme in the biosynthesis of glutathione, which can inhibit ferroptosis by suppressing lipid peroxidation.

Conclusions

Therefore, the SNORA56/28S rRNA/GCLC axis stimulates CRC progression by inhibiting the accumulation of cellular peroxides, and it may provide biomarker and therapeutic applications in CRC."xsd:string
