Report excerpt

Glycolysis in breast cancer cells drives c-Myc-dependent repression of DTWD2, reducing acp3U attachment sites needed for RNA glycosylation and remodeling cell-surface glycoRNA. Loss of DTWD2-impaired glycoRNA weakens Toll-like receptor signaling activation, dendritic cell maturation and CD8+ T cell responses, while reversing aerobic glycolysis to restore glycoRNA improves the antitumor efficacy of PD-1 blockade. Lower glycoRNA abundance tracks with tumor stage and unfavorable prognosis, positioning glycoRNA as a regulator of antitumor immunity and a progression biomarker.
