The list of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) involved in the p53 pathway of the DNA damage response is rapidly expanding, but whether lncRNAs have a role in maintaining the de novo structure of DNA is unknown. Here, we demonstrate that the p53-responsive lncRNA GUARDIN is important for maintaining genomic integrity under steady-state conditions and after exposure to exogenous genotoxic stress. GUARDIN is necessary for preventing chromosome end-to-end fusion through maintaining the expression of telomeric repeat-binding factor 2 (TRF2) by sequestering microRNA-23a. Moreover, GUARDIN also sustains breast cancer 1 (BRCA1) stability by acting as an RNA scaffold to facilitate the heterodimerization of BRCA1 and BRCA1-associated RING domain protein 1 (BARD1). As such, GUARDIN silencing triggered apoptosis and senescence, enhanced cytotoxicity of additional genotoxic stress and inhibited cancer xenograft growth. Thus, GUARDIN may constitute a target for cancer treatment.
