The Evolutionarily Conserved Cassette Exon 7b Drives ERG's Oncogenic Properties (2018)
Journal Article
Jumbe, S., Porazinski, S., Oltean, S., Mansell, J., Vahabi, B., Wilson, I., & Ladomery, M. (2019). The Evolutionarily Conserved Cassette Exon 7b Drives ERG's Oncogenic Properties. Translational Oncology, 12(1), 134-142. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.tranon.2018.09.001

© 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
Uzor, S., Zorzou, P., Bowler, E., Porazinski, S., Wilson, I. D., & Ladomery, M. (2018). Autoregulation of the human splice factor kinase CLK1 through exon skipping and intron retention. Gene, 670, 46-54. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.gene.2018.05.095

© 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
Antonopoulou, E., & Ladomery, M. (2018). Targeting splicing in prostate cancer. International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 19(5), 1287. https://doi.org/10.3390/ijms19051287

© 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.

Hypoxia leads to significant changes in alternative splicing and elevated expression of CLK splice factor kinases in PC3 prostate cancer cells (2018)
Journal Article
Bowler, E., Porazinski, S., Uzor, S., Thibault, P., Durand, M., Lapointe, E., …Ladomery, M. (2018). Hypoxia leads to significant changes in alternative splicing and elevated expression of CLK splice factor kinases in PC3 prostate cancer cells. BMC Cancer, 18(1), 355. https://doi.org/10.1186/s12885-018-4227-7

© 2018 The Author(s). Background: Mounting evidence suggests that one of the ways that cells adapt to hypoxia is through alternative splicing. The aim of this study was firstly to examine the effect of hypoxia on the alternative splicing of cancer as...

Alternative splicing in the hippo pathway-implications for disease and potential therapeutic targets (2018)
Journal Article
Porazinski, S., & Ladomery, M. (2018). Alternative splicing in the hippo pathway-implications for disease and potential therapeutic targets. Genes, 9(3), 161. https://doi.org/10.3390/genes9030161

© 2018 by the authors. Licensee MDPI, Basel, Switzerland. Alternative splicing is a well-studied gene regulatory mechanism that produces biological diversity by allowing the production of multiple protein isoforms from a single gene. An involvement o...
