TDP43, CPEB2A/B AND ESRP1/RBFOX2 IN BREAST CANCER METASTASIS
[22]
Ke et al. reported that the loss of TDP43 (TAR DNA-binding protein 43), an important splicing regulator
involved in the SRSF3 regulated unique splicing of downstream gene PAR3, promotes metastasis in TNBC.
Highly expressed TDP43 is correlated with poor prognosis in TNBC. Knockdown of TDP43 inhibits
SRSF3 and PAR3 mediated metastasis. Two CPEB2 splicing isoforms with or without exon 4 was reported
to mediate opposing effects on cancer-related phenotypes. The CPEB2A isoform, which is produced by
exclusion of exon 4 from the mature CPEB2 mRNA, inhibited tumor growth. The CPEB2B splicing isoform
with the inclusion of exon 4 into the mature CPEB2 mRNA was overexpressed in aggressive forms of human
[23]
breast cancer and enhanced cancer metastasis was observed . CPEB2A/B promotes the translation of two
[23]
critical downstream proteins TWIST1 and HIF1a in the hypoxia/EMT pathway . Splicing factor ratio
might be an index of EMT and tumor aggressiveness in breast cancer. In fact, the association of low ESRP1/
RBFOX2 ratio with high risk of metastasis in early breast cancer was speculated to be a new early prognostic
[24]
marker of breast cancer metastasis .

RNA BINDING PROTEIN RBM47 INHIBITS BREAST CANCER METASTASIS BY REGULATING

SPLICING
RNA binding motif protein 47 (RBM47) was identified as a suppressor of breast cancer metastasis
through analysis of clinical breast cancer gene expression datasets, cell line models, and mutation data.
Transcriptome-wide HITS-CLIP analysis revealed widespread mRNAs associated with RBM47 by binding to
their introns and 3’UTRs. The dickkopf WNT signaling pathway inhibitor 1 (DKK1) is one of downstream
mRNAs of RBM47. RBM47 inhibits breast cancer metastasis by increasing stability of the Wnt antagonist

DKK1 .
