Fusion genes have been implicated in the development and progression of several types of sarcomas, serving as valuable diagnostic and prognostic markers, as well as potential therapeutic targets. We discovered a novel major facilitator superfamily domain-containing 7 (MFSD7) and adenosine triphosphate 5I (ATP5I) gene fusion from sarcomas. In this study, the MFSD7-ATP5I fusion transcript was screened using RNA sequencing in 55 sarcoma samples and sixteen normal samples. The MFSD7-ATP5I fusion transcript was detected in 58% of sarcoma samples. The correlation between the expression of MFSD7-ATP5I fusion transcript and clinicopathological information was analyzed, and MFSD7-ATP5I expression is associated with marked pleomorphism and lower tumor necrosis. Cell migration and invasion was significantly reduced by knock-down of MFSD7-ATP5I. Cell migration and invasion was increased by overexpression of MFSD7-ATP5I. A phosphokinase assay demonstrated that MFSD7-ATP5I is involved in the GSK-3 pathway. The current study found that MFSD7-ATP5I is associated with increasing pleomorphism and decreasing necrosis of tumors. And our gain and loss of function experiments prove that MFSD7-ATP5I promotes the invasiveness of tumor cells.
