This study investigated whether VRK1 regulates pre-messenger RNA splicing through serine/arginine repetitive matrix protein 2 (SRRM2), a nuclear speckle-associated splicing scaffold. Messenger RNA sequencing was performed in control HEK293T cells, VRK1-knockout HEK293T cells, and SRRM2-depleted HEK293T cells. Alternative splicing events were analyzed using replicate Multivariate Analysis of Transcript Splicing. Most differential alternative splicing events detected following VRK1 knockout or SRRM2 depletion were skipped-exon events. A subset of skipped-exon events was shared between VRK1-knockout and SRRM2-depleted cells, and the corresponding genes were enriched in DNA repair-related pathways. These data support a role for the VRK1-SRRM2 regulatory axis in maintaining the efficient alternative splicing of DNA damage response-related transcripts.2026/07/22GSE338004GSM9864439GSM9864435GSM9864436GSM9864437GSM9864438GSM9864442GSM9864443GSM9864440GSM986444124676338004Homo sapiens
