PURPOSE: The flexible protein GRB2 interacts with HER1-4 on the cell surface and regulates the development of tumor cells; meanwhile, it is also an RBP that plays an important role in post-transcriptional regulation in eukaryotes, which affects every stage of mRNA synthesis, modification, splicing, and stabilization. Although some studies have found a connection between GRB2 and HER2-overexpression breast cancer, highlighting the potential of GRB2 as a novel biomarker that stimulates tumor growth, limited data were available to elaborate on their interaction mechanisms. METHODS: In this research, we found 396 different gene expressions between the Grb2-knockdown group and the SK-BR-3 group by the RNA sequencing approach. After GRB2 was knocked down, 956 alternative splicing events occurred. RESULTS: The fRIP-seq results showed that GRB2-binding reads were significantly enriched in the intron region, indicating that UUAGC and UUGGUUGG might be the binding motifs. An integration analysis of DEGs with the peak genes of fRIP-seq revealed that 63 genes possess GRB2 binding sites on their mRNAs or antisense RNAs. By integration analysis of AS events with the peak genes of fRIP-seq, 66 genes related to AS events were found. CONCLUSIONS: Above, these AS events may be regulated by GRB2 to promote the progression of HER2-overexpression breast cancer.
目的:柔性蛋白GRB2在细胞表面与HER1 - 4相互作用并调节肿瘤细胞的发展;同时,它也是一种RNA结合蛋白(RBP),在真核生物的转录后调控中发挥重要作用,影响mRNA合成、修饰、剪接和稳定的各个阶段。尽管一些研究发现GRB2与HER2过表达乳腺癌之间存在联系,凸显了GRB2作为刺激肿瘤生长的新型生物标志物的潜力,但关于它们相互作用机制的详细数据却很有限。 方法:在本研究中,我们通过RNA测序方法发现Grb2基因敲低组和SK - BR - 3组之间存在396种不同的基因表达。GRB2基因敲低后,发生了956个可变剪接事件。 结果:fRIP - seq结果显示,GRB2结合读数在内含子区域显著富集,表明UUAGC和UUGGUUGG可能是结合基序。对差异表达基因(DEGs)与fRIP - seq峰值基因的整合分析表明,有63个基因在其mRNA或反义RNA上具有GRB2结合位点。通过对可变剪接(AS)事件与fRIP - seq峰值基因的整合分析,发现了66个与AS事件相关的基因。 结论:综上所述,这些可变剪接事件可能受GRB2调控,以促进HER2过表达乳腺癌的进展。
