The protein-coding ability of circular RNAs (circRNAs) has recently been a hot topic, but the expression and roles of protein-coding circRNAs in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) remain uncertain. By intersecting circRNA sequencing data from clinical samples and cell lines, we identified a circRNA, termed circ-EIF6, which predicted a poorer prognosis and correlated with clinicopathological characteristics in a cohort of TNBC patients. Functionally, we showed that circ-EIF6 promoted the proliferation and metastasis of TNBC cells in vitro and in vivo. Mechanistically, we found that circ-EIF6 contains a 675-nucleotide (nt) open reading frame (ORF) and that the -150-bp sequence from ATG functioned as an internal ribosome entry site (IRES), which is required for translation initiation in 50 cap-independent coding RNAs. circ-EIF6 encodes a novel peptide, termed EIF6-224 amino acid (aa), which is responsible for the oncogenic effects of circ-EIF6. The endogenous and tissues by specific antibody. Moreover, EIF6-224aa directly interacted with MYH9, an oncogene in breast cancer, and decreased MYH9 degradation by inhibiting the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway and subsequently activating the Wnt/beta-catenin pathway. Our study provided novel insights into the roles of as a novel promising prognostic and therapeutic target for tailored therapy in TNBC patients.
