Alternative RNA splicing (AS) is an essential physiologic function that diversifies the human proteome. AS also has a crucial role during cellular development. In fact, perturbations in RNA-splicing have been implicated in the development of several cancers, including myeloid malignancies. Splicing dysfunction can be independent of genetic lesions or appear as a direct consequence of mutations in components of the RNA-splicing machinery, such as in the case of mutations occurring in splicing factor genes (i.e., SF3B1, SRSF2, U2AF1) and their regulators. In addition, cancer cells exhibit marked gene expression alterations, including different usage of AS isoforms, possibly causing tissue-specific effects and perturbations of downstream pathways. This review summarizes several modalities leading to splicing diversity in myeloid malignancies.

Abstract

Alternative RNA splicing (AS) is an essential physiologic function that diversifies the human proteome. AS also has a crucial role during cellular development. In fact, perturbations in RNA-splicing have been implicated in the development of several cancers, including myeloid malignancies. Splicing dysfunction can be independent of genetic lesions or appear as a direct consequence of mutations in components of the RNA-splicing machinery, such as in the case of mutations occurring in splicing factor genes (i.e., SF3B1, SRSF2, U2AF1) and their regulators. In addition, cancer cells exhibit marked gene expression alterations, including different usage of AS isoforms, possibly causing tissue-specific effects and perturbations of downstream pathways. This review summarizes several modalities leading to splicing diversity in myeloid malignancies.
