Differentiation of mammary tumors and reduction in metastasis upon Malat1 lncRNA loss

TL;DR: It is reported that genetic loss or systemic knockdown of Malat1 using antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs) in the MMTV-PyMT- and Her2/neu-amplified tumor organoids model results in slower tumor growth accompanied by significant differentiation into cystic tumors and a reduction in metastasis.
Journal ArticleDOI

SRSF1-Regulated Alternative Splicing in Breast Cancer.

TL;DR: SRSF1 positive and negative regulatory mechanisms, and oncogenic AS events that represent potential targets for therapeutics development are uncovered.
Journal ArticleDOI

Oncogenic Splicing Factor SRSF1 Is a Critical Transcriptional Target of MYC

TL;DR: It is shown that SRSF1 is a direct target of the transcription factor oncoprotein MYC, a critical MYC target that contributes to its oncogenic potential by enabling MYC to regulate the expression of specific protein isoforms through alternative splicing.
Journal ArticleDOI

SFmap: a web server for motif analysis and prediction of splicing factor binding sites

TL;DR: SFmap is a web server for predicting putative SF binding sites in genomic data that implements the COS(WR) algorithm, which computes similarity scores for a given regulatory motif based on information derived from its sequence environment and its evolutionary conservation.
