Systematic Genome-Wide Profiles Reveal Alternative Splicing Landscape and Implications of Splicing Regulator DExD-Box Helicase 21 in Aggressive Progression of Adrenocortical Carcinoma.

ABSTRACT: Alternative splicing (AS) in the tumor biological process has provided a novel perspective on carcinogenesis. However, the clinical significance of individual AS patterns of adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) has been underestimated, and in-depth investigations are lacking. We selected 76 ACC samples from the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) SpliceSeq and SpliceAid2 databases, and 39 ACC samples from Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Center (FUSCC). Prognosis-related AS events (PASEs) and survival analysis were evaluated based on prediction models constructed by machine-learning algorithm. In total, 23,984 AS events and 3,614 PASEs were detected in the patients with ACC. The predicted risk score of each patient suggested that eight PASEs groups were significantly correlated with the clinical outcomes
