Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Abstract The alternative splicing of the adapter protein NUMB is dysregulated in multiple cancer types, regulating its functional divergence towards either tumor suppression or oncogenesis in an isoform-dependant manner. Here we utilized a NUMB exon 9 (E9) splicing reporter in a genome-wide CRISPR screen to identify splicing regulators SRRM1 and SRSF11 that promote NUMB oncogenic splicing in colorectal, lung and breast cancer cell lines. We show that SRRM1 and SRSF11 share common protein interactors, RNA targets and effects on an oncogenic splicing program which favors the expression of pro-tumorigenic isoforms. In addition to NUMB E9, SRRM1 regulates cancer-associated splicing events in genes encoding signaling proteins, transcription factors and actin cytoskeleton regulators, many of which are also developmentally regulated, including CD44, MKNK2, ECT2, DIAPH1, KAT5, TCF7L2, FOXM1 and TBX3. Loss of SRRM1 in colorectal and lung cancer cells reduces cell proliferation, colony formation and invasion capabilities, as well as expression of tumour promoters Cyclin D1, Notum, and PRDX2. Our data indicate that SRRM1 regulation of alternative splicing represents a node to target multiple properties of malignant cells, with broad effects on cellular signaling, proliferation, EMT, apoptosis resistance and stemness.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
