HnRNP K regulates inflammatory gene expression by mediating splicing pattern of transcriptional factors.

ABSTRACT: HnRNP K is a heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein and has been identified as an oncogene in most solid tumors via regulating gene expression or alternative splicing of genes by binding both DNA and pre-mRNA. However, how hnRNP K affects tumorigenesis and regulates the gene expression in cervical cancer (CESC) remains to be elucidated. In these data, higher expression of hnRNP K was observed in CESC and was negatively correlated with the patient survival time. We then overexpressed hnRNP K (hnRNP K-OE) and found that its overexpression promoted cell proliferation in HeLa cells (P = 0.0052). Next, global transcriptome sequencing (RNA-seq) experiments were conducted to explore gene expression and alternative splicing profiles regulated by hnRNP K. It is shown that upregulated genes
