PTBP1 and PTBP2 impaired autoregulation of SRSF3 in cancer cells.


ABSTRACT: Splicing factors are key players in the regulation of alternative splicing of pre-mRNAs. Overexpression of splicing factors, including SRSF3, has been strongly linked with oncogenesis. However, the mechanisms behind their overexpression remain largely unclear. Autoregulation is a common mechanism to maintain relative stable expression levels of splicing factors in cells. SRSF3 regulates its own expression by enhancing the inclusion of an alternative exon 4 with an in-frame stop codon. We found that the inclusion of SRSF3 exon 4 is impaired in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) cells. PTBP1 and PTBP2 bind to an exonic splicing suppressor in exon 4 and inhibit its inclusion, which results in overexpression of full length functional SRSF3. Overexpression of SRSF3, in turn, promotes PTBP2 expression. Our results suggest a novel mechanism for the overexpression of oncogenic splicing factor via impairing autoregulation in cancer cells.
