Aurora-A phosphorylates splicing factors and regulates alternative splicing [PDF]
ABSTRACT Aurora-A kinase is well known to regulate progression through mitosis. However, the kinase also performs additional functions that could explain the failure of its inhibitors to be effective in cancer treatments. To identify these functions, we applied a proteomics approach to search for interactors of Aurora-

MALAT1 modulates alternative splicing by cooperating with the splicing factors PTBP1 and PSF
Understanding how long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) cooperate with splicing factors (SFs) in alternative splicing (AS) control is fundamental to human biology and disease. We show that metastasis-associated lung adenocarcinoma transcript 1 (MALAT1), a well-documented AS-implicated lncRNA, regulates AS via two SFs, polypyrimidine tract–binding protein 1 ...

Tumour–host interactions in Drosophila: mechanisms in the tumour micro‐ and macroenvironment
This review examines how tumour–host crosstalk takes place at multiple levels of biological organisation, from local cell competition and immune crosstalk to organism‐wide metabolic and physiological collapse. Here, we integrate findings from Drosophila melanogaster studies that reveal conserved mechanisms through which tumours hijack host systems to ...

Splicing therapeutics in SMN2 and APOB [PDF]
Splicing therapeutics are defined as the deliberate modification of RNA splicing to achieve therapeutic goals. Various techniques for splicing therapeutics have been described, and most of these involve the use of antisense oligonucleotide-based ...

Functional coordination of alternative splicing in the mammalian central nervous system [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Alternative splicing (AS) functions to expand proteomic complexity and plays numerous important roles in gene regulation. However, the extent to which AS coordinates functions in a cell and tissue type specific manner is not known.

In this explorative study, the abundance of circular RNA molecules in bone marrow stem cells was found to be elevated in patients with high‐risk myelodysplastic neoplasms, and to be associated with an increased risk of progression to acute myeloid leukemia.

A method of predicting changes in human gene splicing induced by genetic variants in context of cis-acting elements [PDF]
Background: polymorphic variants and mutations disrupting canonical splicing isoforms are among the leading causes of human hereditary disorders. While there is a substantial evidence of aberrant splicing causing Mendelian diseases, the implication of ...

Splicing-associated epitopes and immune therapy response.
(A) Distribution of the number of tumor-specific splicing-derived neoepitopes (splicing-epitopes) and splicing-affected self-epitopes that would be depleted in the altered isoform (self-epitopes) using ≤500nM to define candidate epitopes, separated by ...

KDM7A and KDM1A inhibition suppresses tumour promoting pathways in prostate cancer
Treatment resistance is a major challenge for patients with advanced prostate cancer. This study examined an alternative approach to target the major prostate cancer‐promoting pathway by targeting epigenetic factors, whose levels are higher in tumours.
