Brain metastasis with current limited treatment options is a common complication in advanced cancer patients, and breast-to-brain metastasis (B2BM) is one of the major types. In this work, we report that brain metastasis oncogenic long noncoding RNA (BMOR) is a key brain-enriched long noncoding RNA for the development of B2BM. We demonstrate that BMOR allows B2BM cells to colonize the brain tissue by evading immune-mediated killing in the brain microenvironment. At the molecular level, BMOR binds and inactivates IRF3 in B2BM cells. Finally, BMOR silencer can effectively suppress the development of brain metastasis in vivo. Therefore, our findings reveal a way in which cancer cells evade immune-mediated killing in the brain microenvironment for brain metastasis development and establish therapeutic targets with potential targeted strategies against B2BM. Brain metastases, including prevalent breast-to-brain metastasis (B2BM), represent an urgent unmet medical need in the care of cancer due to a lack of effective therapies. Immune evasion is essential for cancer cells to metastasize to the brain tissue for brain metastasis. However, the intrinsic genetic circuits that enable cancer cells to avoid immune-mediated killing in the brain microenvironment remain poorly understood. Here, we report that a brain-enriched long noncoding RNA (BMOR) expressed in B2BM cells is required for brain metastasis development and is both necessary and sufficient to drive cancer cells to colonize the brain tissue. Mechanistically, BMOR enables cancer cells to evade immune-mediated killing in the brain microenvironment for the development of brain metastasis by binding and inactivating IRF3. In preclinical brain metastasis murine models, locked nucleic acid-BMOR, a designed silencer targeting BMOR, is effective in suppressing the metastatic colonization of cancer cells in the brain for brain metastasis. Taken together, our study reveals a mechanism underlying B2BM immune evasion during cancer cell metastatic colonization of brain tissue for brain metastasis, where B2BM cells evade immune-mediated killing in the brain microenvironment by acquiring a brain-enriched long noncoding RNA genetic feature.
