Downregulated RBM5 Enhances CARM1 Expression and Activates the PRKACA/GSK3β Signaling Pathway through Alternative Splicing-Coupled Nonsense-Mediated Decay.

ABSTRACT: Downregulated RNA-binding motif protein 5 (RBM5) promotes the development and progression of various tumors, including bladder cancer (BC). Alternative splicing (AS) plays a crucial role in the progression of cancer by producing protein isomers with different functions or by promoting nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD). However, whether RBM5 modulates the progression of BC through AS-NMD remains unexplored. In this study, we revealed that the downregulation of RBM5 expression promoted the expression of coactivator-associated arginine methyltransferase 1 (CARM1) in BC cells and tissues. Increased expression of CARM1 facilitated the activation of the Wnt/β-catenin axis and cell proliferation, which then contributed to the poor prognosis of patients with BC. Interestingly, RBM5 bound directly
