SRSF7 downregulation induces cellular senescence through generation of MDM2 variants.

ABSTRACT: Alternative splicing (AS) enables a pre-mRNA to generate different functional protein variants. The change in AS has been reported as an emerging contributor to cellular senescence and aging. However, it remains to be elucidated which senescent AS variants are generated in and regulate senescence. Here, we observed commonly down-regulated SRSF7 in senescent cells, using publicly available RNA-seq datasets of several in vitro senescence models. We further confirmed SRSF7 deregulation from our previous microarray datasets of time-series replicative senescence (RS) and oxidative stress-induced senescence (OSIS) of human diploid fibroblast (HDF). We validated the time-course changes of SRSF mRNA and protein levels, developing both RS and OSIS. SRSF knockdown in HDF was enough to induce
