RNA-sequencing in immortalized human mammary epithelial cells


ABSTRACT: The epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) contributes to tumor heterogeneity and has been implicated in tumor initiation and metastasis. To systematically identify genes involved in EMT, we performed a genome-scale expression screen in human mammary epithelial cells and found a striking enrichment in RNA splicing factors. In particular, the RNA-binding proteins QKI and RBFOX1 were necessary and sufficient to promote EMT and stem-like states. Among the transcripts cooperatively regulated by both factors, we found that alternative splicing of the actin-binding protein FLNB plays an essential role in the regulation of EMT. The skipping of FLNB exon 30 and the elevated expression of QKI were strongly associated with EMT gene signatures in both basal B subtype breast cancer cell lines and basal-like breast cancer patient samples. These observations demonstrate that alternative splicing regulated by QKI and RBFOX1 plays an active role in promoting EMT in basal-like breast cancers.
