SF3A3 Drives Tumorigenesis in Endometrial Cancer by Enhancing c-FOS Expression and Represents a Potential Therapeutic Target
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Aberrant expression of splicing factors is increasingly recognized as a critical driver of cancer progression. Herein, we unravel SF3A3, a core component of the spliceosome, being highly expressed in endometrial cancer (EC) and playing an oncogenic role by driving splicing alterations, and consequently promoting tumor progression and therapeutic resistance. Mechanistically, We found through RIP seq data that SF3A3 could specifically bind to a series of genes, including c-FOS. Subsequent experiments have confirmed that SF3A3 coud regulate the alternative splicing of c-FOS, an anti-apoptotic gene implicated in resistance to cisplatin, a first-line chemotherapeutic agent for EC. SF3A3 facilitates the inclusion of exons 2 and 3 in c-FOS, resulting in the production of full-length c-FOS, which promotes tumor progression and cisplatin resistance.
