Abstract

Oncogene-induced DNA replication stress (RS) and consequent pathogenic R-loop formation are known to impede S phase progression. Nonetheless, cancer cells continuously proliferate under such high-stressed conditions through incompletely understood mechanisms. Here, we report taurine upregulated gene 1 (TUG1) long noncoding RNA (lncRNA), which is highly expressed in many types of cancers, as an important regulator of intrinsic R-loop in cancer cells. Under RS conditions, TUG1 is rapidly upregulated via activation of the ATR-CHK1 signaling pathway, interacts with RPA and DHX9, and engages in resolving R-loops at certain loci, particularly at the CA repeat microsatellite loci. Depletion of TUG1 leads to overabundant R-loops and enhanced RS, leading to substantial inhibition of tumor growth. Our data reveal a role of TUG1 as molecule important for resolving R-loop accumulation in cancer cells and suggest targeting TUG1 as a potent therapeutic approach for cancer treatment.
