Molecular characteristics and clinical implications of serine/arginine-rich splicing factors in human cancer.

ABSTRACT: As critical splicing regulators, serine/arginine-rich splicing factors (SRSFs) play pivotal roles in carcinogenesis. As dysregulation of SRSFs may confer potential cancer risks, targeting SRSFs could provide important insights into cancer therapy. However, a global and comprehensive pattern to elaborate the molecular characteristics, mechanisms, and clinical links of SRSFs in a wide variety of human cancer is still lacking. In this study, a systematic analysis was conducted to reveal the molecular characteristics and clinical implications of SRSFs covering more than 10000 tumour samples of 33 human cancer types. We found that SRSFs experienced prevalent genomic alterations and expression perturbations in multiple cancer types. The DNA methylation, m6A modification, and miRNA regulation of
