SRSF3, an important member of the serine/arginine-rich protein (SRp) family, is highly expressed in various tumors and plays an important role in tumor cell proliferation, migration and invasion. However, it is still unclear whether SRSF3 is involved in tumor angiogenesis. In this study, we first revealed that SRSF3 regulated the expression of numerous genes related to angiogenesis, including proangiogenic SRF. Then, we confirmed that SRSF3 was highly expressed in colorectal cancer (CRC) and was positively correlated with SRF. Mechanistic studies revealed that SRSF3 directly bound to the "CAUC" motif in exon 6 of and induced the exclusion of introns. Knockdown of SRSF3 significantly reduced the secretion of VEGF from CRC cells. Conditioned medium from SRSF3-knockdown CRC cells significantly inhibited the migration, invasion and tube formation of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). In addition, SRF silencing inhibited angiogenesis, while SRF overexpression reversed the antiangiogenic effects of SRSF3 knockdown on tube formation. These findings indicate that SRSF3 is involved in the splicing of and thereby regulates the angiogenesis of CRC, which offers novel insight into antiangiogenic therapy in CRC.

Background: This study aimed to explore key microRNAs (miRNAs) and their effects on hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) progression.
Methods: Key deregulated miRNAs in HCC were screened from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) databases. The anti-cancer effects of miR-486-5p were validated using a cell counting kit-8 assay, flow cytometry, scratch assay, transwell assay, and an orthotopic transplantation tumor model.

Prostate cancer (PCa) is the second most common cancer among men worldwide. The main screening tool remains the prostate-specific antigen (PSA), which shows significant limitations, including poor sensitivity/specificity. Therefore, establishing accurate non-invasive diagnostic biomarkers remains an unmet clinical need in PCa.

Fibrosis is the outcome of any abnormal tissue repair process that results in normal tissue replacement with scar tissue, leading to persistent tissue damage and cellular injury. During the process of fibrosis, many cytokines and chemokines are involved, and their activities are controlled by post-translational modifications, especially SUMOylation and NEDDylation. Both these modifications entail a three-step process of activation, conjugation, and ligation that involves three kinds of enzymes, namely, E1 activating, E2 conjugating, and E3 ligase enzymes.

Signaling through the platelet-derived growth factor receptor alpha (PDGFRα) plays a critical role in craniofacial development. Phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/Akt is the primary effector of PDGFRα signaling during mouse skeletal development. We previously demonstrated that Akt phosphorylates the RNA-binding protein serine/arginine-rich splicing factor 3 (Srsf3) downstream of PI3K-mediated PDGFRα signaling in mouse embryonic palatal mesenchyme (MEPM) cells, leading to its nuclear translocation.

The African clawed frog, , exhibits remarkable adaptations to survive in its arid habitat, including behavioral and metabolic changes during periods of drought. During extreme dehydration, undergoes estivation, a state characterized by increased urea and ammonia levels, depression of the metabolic rate, and tissue hypoxia. To understand the molecular mechanisms underlying these adaptations, we investigated the potential role of N6-methyladenosine (mA), a widespread mRNA modification, in during extreme dehydration.
