High-grade ovarian cancer associated H/ACA snoRNAs promote cancer cell proliferation and survival
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Small nucleolar RNAs (snoRNAs) are an omnipresent class of non-coding RNAs involved in the modification and processing of ribosomal RNA (rRNA). As snoRNAs are required for ribosome production, the increase of which is a hallmark of cancer development, their expression would be expected to increase in proliferating cancer cells. However, assessing the nature and extent of snoRNAs' contribution to cancer biology has been largely limited by difficulties in detecting highly structured RNA. In this study, we used a dedicated midsize non-coding RNA (mncRNA) sensitive sequencing technique to accurately survey the snoRNA abundance in independently verified high-grade serous ovarian carcinoma (HGSC) and serous borderline tumour (SBT) tissues. The results identified SNORA81, SNORA19 and SNORA56 as an H/ACA snoRNA signature capable of discriminating between independent sets of HGSC, SBT and normal tissues. The expression of the signature SNORA81 correlates with the level of ribosomal RNA (rRNA) modification and its knockdown inhibits 28S rRNA pseudouridylation and accumulation leading to reduced cell proliferation and migration. Together our data indicate that specific subsets of H/ACA snoRNAs may promote tumour aggressiveness by inducing rRNA modification and synthesis.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
