Background: Transfer RNA (tRNA) queuosine (Q)-modifications occur specifically in 4 cellular tRNAs at the wobble anticodon position. tRNA Q-modification in human cells depends on the gut microbiome because the microbiome product queuine is required for its installation by the enzyme Q tRNA ribosyltransferase catalytic subunit 1 (QTRT1) encoded in the human genome. Queuine is a micronutrient from diet and microbiome. Although tRNA Q-modification has been studied for a long time regarding its properties in decoding and tRNA fragment generation, how QTRT1 affects tumorigenesis and the microbiome is still poorly understood. Results: We generated single clones of QTRT1-knockout breast cancer MCF7 cells using Double Nickase Plasmid. We also established a QTRT1-knockdown breast MDA-MB-231 cell line. The impacts of QTRT1 deletion or reduction on cell proliferation and migration in vitro were evaluated using cell culture, while the regulations on tumor growth in vivo were evaluated using a xenograft BALB/c nude mouse model. We found that QTRT1 deficiency in human breast cancer cells could change the functions of regulation genes, which are critical in cell proliferation, tight junction formation, and migration in human breast cancer cells in vitro and a breast tumor mouse model in vivo. We identified that several core bacteria, such as Lachnospiraceae, Lactobacillus, and Alistipes, were markedly changed in mice post injection with breast cancer cells. The relative abundance of bacteria in tumors induced from wildtype cells was significantly higher than those of QTRT1 deficiency cells. Conclusions: Our results demonstrate that the QTRT1 gene and tRNA Q-modification altered cell proliferation, junctions, and microbiome in tumors and the intestine, thus playing a critical role in breast cancer development.
