The mechanism of cancer induction involves an aberrant expression of oncogenes whose functions can be controlled by RNAi with miRNA. Even foreign bacterial RNA may interfere with the expression of oncogenes. Here we show that bacterial plasmidmucABand itsEscherichia coligenomic homologumuDC,carrying homologies that match the mouse anti-miR-145, sequestered the miR-145 function in mouse BALB 3T3 cells in a tetracycline (Tet)-inducible manner, activated oncogeneNedd9and its downstreamAurkb,and further enhanced microcolony formation and cellular transformation as well as the short fragments of the bacterial gene containing the anti-miR-145 sequence. Furthermore,mucABtransgenic mice showed a 1.7-fold elevated tumor incidence compared with wild-type mice after treatments with 3-methylcolanthrene. However, the mutation frequency in intestinal stem cells of themucABtransgenic mice was unchanged after treatment with X-rays or ethyl-nitrosourea, indicating that the target ofmucAB/umuDCis the promotion stage in carcinogenesis.ImplicationsForeign bacterial genes can exert oncogenic activity via RNAi, if endogenously expressed.Visual Overviewhttp://mcr.aacrjournals.org/content/molcanres/18/9/1271/F1.large.jpg.
