STAU1 selectively regulates the expression of inflammatory and immune response genes and alternative splicing of the nerve growth factor receptor signaling pathway.

ABSTRACT: Double‑stranded RNA‑binding protein Staufen homolog 1 (STAU1) is a highly conserved multifunctional double‑stranded RNA‑binding protein, and is a key factor in neuronal differentiation. RNA sequencing was used to analyze the overall transcriptional levels of the upregulated cells by STAU1 and control cells, and select alternative splicing (AS). It was determined that the high expression of STAU1 led to changes in the expression levels of a variety of inflammatory and immune response genes, including IFIT2, IFIT3, OASL, and CCL2. Furthermore, STAU1 was revealed to exert a significant regulatory effect on the AS of genes related to the 'nerve growth factor receptor signaling pathway'. This is of significant importance for neuronal survival, differentiation, growth, post‑damage repair, and re
