SRSF1 and cancer: Silipo et al. [13] reported that the expression profile changes of splicing factors including serine/arginine-rich splicing factor 1 (SRSF1), SRSF2, SRSF3, SRSF5, SRSF6 and SRSF10; the heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoproteins (hnRNPs) including hnRNP A2/B1, hnRNPI, hnRNPA1 and hnRNP K; as well as eight RNA-binding proteins including HuR, Sam68, BRM5, FOX2, YB-1, PRMT6, SPF45 and PELP1 in breast cancer cells compared with normal cells, which are strongly associated with the alternative splicing pattern of many cancer-related genes despite the absence of mutations in genomic DNA.
