ABSTRACT
The F11 receptor (F11R) gene encoding junctional adhesion molecule A has been associated with gastric cancer (GC) and colorectal cancer (CRC), in which its role and regulation remain to be further elucidated. Recently F11R was also identified as a potential target of adenosine-to-inosine (A-to-I) mediated by the adenosine deaminases acting on RNA (ADARs). Herein, using RNA-Seq and experimental validation, our current study revealed an F11R RNA trinucleotide over-edited by ADAR, with its regulation of gene expression and clinical significance in four GC and three CRC cohorts. Our results found an over-edited AAA trinucleotide in an AluSg located in the F11R 3'-untranslated region (3'-UTR), which showed editing levels correlated with elevated ADAR expression across all GC and CRC cohorts in our study. Overexpression and knockdown of ADAR in GC and CRC cells, followed by RNA-Seq and Sanger sequencing, confirmed the ADAR-mediated F11R 3'-UTR trinucleotide editing, which potentially disrupted an RBM45 binding site identified by crosslinking immunoprecipitation sequencing (CLIP-seq) and regulated F11R expression in luciferase reporter assays. Moreover, the F11R trinucleotide editing showed promising predictive performance for diagnosing GC and CRC across GC and CRC cohorts. Our findings thus highlight both the potential biological and clinical significance of an ADAR-edited F11R trinucleotide in GC and CRC, providing new insights into its application as a novel diagnostic biomarker for both cancers.
