Transcriptomic analysis of FT282 cells and fibroblasts treated with Pladienolide B
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Despite growing interest in pre-mRNA alternative splicing (AS) as a therapeutic anticancer target, the potential of splicing inhibitors for treating solid tumors remains largely unexplored. We conducted a meta-analysis of transcriptome data from six different tumor types and found that splicing inhibitors induce similar AS patterns, resulting in widespread exon-skipping events that frequently trigger nonsense-mediated decay of the affected transcripts. These post-transcriptional changes downregulate approximately one-third of essential DNA repair genes, thereby creating a therapeutic vulnerability to DNA-damaging agents. Here to study if there is cytotoxic selectivity of pladienolide B for cancer cells compared to non-cancerous cells, we examined transcriptomic profiles of a normal cell line, hTERT-immortalized fallopian tube epithelial cells (FT282) and primary culture of dermal fibroblasts treated with of suboptimal (1.56 nM) or high (12 nM) doses of pladienolide B (Pl-B) for 24 h.
