The pro-apoptotic effect on tumor cell lines demonstrates the anti-tumor activity of Bcl-x pre-mRNA spliced SSO.201,202 The decoy RNA oligonucleotides were designed and confirmed to inhibit the splicing and biological activity of RBFOX1/2, SRSF1 and PTBP1.203 Therefore, SSOs will be an effective way to treat tumors caused by the vital mis-spliced events during disease initiation and/or progression. The gene discussed is SRSF1; the disease is neoplasm.
