SPHINX-based combination therapy as a potential novel treatment strategy for acute myeloid leukaemia (2023)
Journal Article

Introduction: Dysregulated alternative splicing is a prominent feature of cancer. The inhibition and knockdown of the SR splice factor kinase SRPK1 reduces tumour growth in vivo. As a result several SPRK1 inhibitors are in development including SPHIN... Read More about SPHINX-based combination therapy as a potential novel treatment strategy for acute myeloid leukaemia.

CDC2-like (CLK) protein kinase inhibition as a novel targeted therapeutic strategy in prostate cancer (2021)
Journal Article

Dysregulation of alternative splicing is a feature of cancer, both in aetiology and progression. It occurs because of mutations in splice sites or sites that regulate splicing, or because of the altered expression and activity of splice factors and o...

Epigenenetic regulation of alternative splicing: How lncRNAs tailor the message (2021)
Journal Article

Alternative splicing is a highly fine-tuned regulated process and one of the main drivers of proteomic diversity across eukaryotes. The vast majority of human multi-exon genes is alternatively spliced in a cell type-and tissue-specific manner, and de...

WT1 activates transcription of the splice factor kinase SRPK1 gene in PC3 and K562 cancer cells in the absence of corepressor BASP1 (2020)
Journal Article

Dysregulated alternative splicing plays a prominent role in all hallmarks of cancer. The splice factor kinase SRPK1 drives the activity of oncogenic splice factors such as SRSF1. SRSF1 in turn promotes the expression of splice isoforms that favour tu...

Targeting the ERG oncogene with splice-switching oligonucleotides as a novel therapeutic strategy in prostate cancer (2020)
Journal Article

Background: The ERG oncogene, a member of the ETS family of transcription factor encoding genes, is a genetic driver of prostate cancer. It is activated through a fusion with the androgen-responsive TMPRSS2 promoter in 50% of cases. There is therefor...

Phenethyl isothiocyanate hampers growth and progression of HER2-positive breast and ovarian carcinoma by targeting their stem cell compartment (2019)
Journal Article

© 2019, International Society for Cellular Oncology. Purpose: Isothiocyanates elicit anticancer effects by targeting cancer stem cells (CSCs). Here, we tested the antitumor activity of phenethyl-isothiocyanate (PEITC), either alone or in combination...

Altered VEGF splicing isoform balance in tumor endothelium involves activation of splicing factors Srpk1 and Srsf1 by the Wilms’ tumor suppressor Wt1 (2019)
Journal Article

Angiogenesis is one hallmark of cancer. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is a known inducer of angiogenesis. Many patients benefit from antiangiogenic therapies, which however have limitations. Although VEGF is overexpressed in most tumors,...

The Evolutionarily Conserved Cassette Exon 7b Drives ERG's Oncogenic Properties (2018)
Journal Article

© 2018 The oncogene ERG encodes an ETS family transcription factor and is implicated in blood, vascular, and bone development and in prostate, blood, and bone cancer. The ERG gene is alternatively spliced; of particular interest is its cassette exon... Read More about The Evolutionarily Conserved Cassette Exon 7b Drives ERG's Oncogenic Properties.

Autoregulation of the human splice factor kinase CLK1 through exon skipping and intron retention (2018)
Journal Article

© 2018 Elsevier B.V. Alternative splicing is a key process required for the regulation of gene expression in normal development and physiology. It is regulated by splice factors whose activities are in turn regulated by splice factor kinases and phos...

Targeting splicing in prostate cancer (2018)
Journal Article

© 2018 by the authors. Licensee MDPI, Basel, Switzerland. Over 95% of human genes are alternatively spliced, expressing splice isoforms that often exhibit antagonistic functions. We describe genes whose alternative splicing has been linked to prostat... Read More about Targeting splicing in prostate cancer.
