An overview of RNA splicing and functioning of splicing factors in land plant chloroplasts
RNA Biology, 2022 RNA splicing refers to a process by which introns of a pre-mRNA are excised and the exons at both ends are joined together. Chloroplast introns are inherently self-splicing ribozymes, but over time, they have lost self-splicing ability due to the ...

Mechanisms of non-coding RNA-modulated alternative splicing in cancer
RNA Biology, 2022 Alternative splicing (AS) is a common and pivotal process for eukaryotic gene expression regulation, which enables a precursor RNA to produce multiple transcript variants with diverse cellular functions.

SAM68 is a physiological regulator of SMN2 splicing in spinal muscular atrophy [PDF]
, 2015 Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a neurodegenerative disease caused by loss of motor neurons in patients with null mutations in the SMN1 gene. The almost identical SMN2 gene is unable to compensate for this deficiency because of the skipping of exon 7 ...

Screening and Identification of Survival-Associated Splicing Factors in Lung Squamous Cell Carcinoma
Frontiers in Genetics, 2022 Lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC) is a disease with high morbidity and mortality. Many studies have shown that aberrant alternative splicing (AS) can lead to tumorigenesis, and splicing factors (SFs) serve as an important function during AS.

An exonic splicing enhancer in human IGF-I pre-mRNA mediates recognition of alternative exon 5 by the serine-arginine protein splicing factor-2/alternative splicing factor [PDF]
, 2002 The human IGF-I gene has six exons, four of which are alternatively spliced. Variations in splicing involving exon 5 may occur, depending on the tissue type and hormonal environment.

Modulation of PKM alternative splicing by PTBP1 promotes gemcitabine resistance in pancreatic cancer cells [PDF]
, 2015 Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is an aggressive and incurable disease. Poor prognosis is due to multiple reasons, including acquisition of resistance to gemcitabine, the first-line chemotherapeutic approach.

Characterization of a disease-associated mutation affecting a putative splicing regulatory element in intron 6b of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene [PDF]
, 2009 Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a common recessive disorder caused by >1600 mutations in the CF transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene. About 13% of CFTR mutations are classified as “splicing mutations,” but for almost 40% of these, their role in ...
