While the prognosis of hormone receptor-positive (HR+) breast cancer has been significantly improved, tamoxifen resistance remains a challenge in the treatment of HR+ breast cancer. This study identified that tRF-16-K8J7K1B, a novel small ncRNA derived from the 3′-end of tRNAAla-TGC, was highly expressed in tamoxifen-resistant cells compared to parental cells. Moreover, extracellular tRF-16-K8J7K1B confers tamoxifen resistance via incorporation into exosomes and then degrades the expression of apoptosis-related proteins, reducing the proportion of drug-induced cell apoptosis. Therefore, we propose that exosomal tRF-16-K8J7K1B could be a potential predictive biomarker and therapeutic target for overcoming tamoxifen resistance. Tamoxifen resistance remains a challenge in hormone receptor-positive (HR+) breast cancer. Recent evidence suggests that transfer ribonucleic acid (tRNA)-derived fragments play pivotal roles in the occurrence and development of various tumors. However, the relationship between tRNA-derived fragments and tamoxifen resistance remains unclear. In this study, we found that the expression of tRF-16-K8J7K1B was upregulated in tamoxifen-resistant cells in comparison with tamoxifen-sensitive cells. Higher levels of tRF-16-K8J7K1B were associated with shorter disease-free survival in HR+ breast cancer. Overexpression of tRF-16-K8J7K1B promotes tamoxifen resistance. Moreover, extracellular tRF-16-K8J7K1B could be packaged into exosomes and could disseminate tamoxifen resistance to recipient cells. Mechanistically, exosomal tRF-16-K8J7K1B downregulates the expression of apoptosis-related proteins, such as caspase 3 and poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase, by targeting tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand in receptor cells, thereby reducing drug-induced cell apoptosis. Therapeutically, the inhibition of exosomal tRF-16-K8J7K1B increases the sensitivity of breast cancer cells to tamoxifen in vivo. These data demonstrate that exosomal tRF-16-K8J7K1B may be a novel therapeutic target to overcome tamoxifen resistance in HR+ breast cancer.
