PTBP1 and ovarian cancer: Importantly, novel translational bioinformatics methods provide advanced understanding of the dynamic range of PTBP1 role in regulating alternative transcript expression of genes associated to proliferation, invasiveness, drug-resistance, etc. Such methods offer the opportunity to serve as proof-of-concept, paving the way to potential therapeutic agents to be investigated, such as small molecules and biologics inhibiting aberrant PTBP1 expression as in the case of ovarian cancer and glioma.
