A tumor-associated splice-isoform of MAP2K7 drives dedifferentiation in MBNL1-low cancers via JNK activation

Abstract: Master splicing regulator MBNL1 shapes large transcriptomic changes that drive cellular differentiation during development. Here we demonstrate that MBNL1 is a suppressor of tumor dedifferentiation. We surveyedMBNL1expression in matched tumor/normal pairs across The Cancer Genome Atlas and found thatMBNL1was down-regulated in several common cancers. Down-regulation ofMBNL1predicted poor overall survival in breast, lung, and stomach adenocarcinomas and increased relapse and distant metastasis in triple-negative… Show more

“…presence of MAP2K7 ∆exon2 isoform in MBNL1- low cancers with high stem/progenitor-like properties ( Figure 1 ). 2 Our findings have important clinical implications. Biopsies from cancer patients can be assayed for MBNL 1 and MAP2K7 ∆exon2 isoform expression as patients with low MBNL1 and high MAP2K 7∆exon2 would be likely to benefit from JNK inhibition.…”

“…Muscleblind-like-1 (MBNL1) is an RNA binding protein that functions as a master-regulator of RNA-processing. It regulates alternative splicing, 1 , 2 alternative polyadenylation, 3 transcript localization 4 and transcript stability. 5 , 6 MBNL1 stabilizes or destabilizes key transcripts involved in metastasis to suppress metastasis in breast and colorectal cancers.…”
