R-Loop Functions in Brca1-Associated Mammary Tumorigenesis

Show abstract
Excessive R-loops, a DNA-RNA hybrid structure, are associated with genome instability and BRCA1 mutation-related breast cancer. Yet the causality of R-loops in tumorigenesis remains unclear. Here we show that R-loop removal by Rnaseh1 overexpression (Rh1-OE) in Brca1-knockout (BKO) mouse mammary epithelium exacerbates DNA replication stress without affecting homology-directed DNA repair. R-loop removal also diminishes luminal progenitors, the cell of origin for estrogen receptor (ER)-negative BKO tumors. However, R-loop reduction does not dampen spontaneous BKO tumor incidence. Rather, it gives rise to a significant percentage of ER-expressing BKO tumors. Thus, R-loops reshape mammary tumor subtype rather than promoting tumorigenesis.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
