Abstract
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a deadly cancer known for its high rate of early metastasis, necessitating the discovery of the underlying mechanisms. Herein, we report that heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein L-like (hnRNPLL) expression significantly increases at the invasion forefront in PDAC and is associated with early metastasis and poor prognosis. Our findings revealed that hnRNPLL knockdown resulted in extensive exon skipping (ES) events. In particular, we identified myoferlin (MYOF), a member of the ferlin family involved in membrane processes, as a functional splicing target of hnRNPLL. hnRNPLL depletion stimulates MYOF exon 17 retention to reduce the short isoform of MYOF (MYOFb) and inhibit metastasis. In contrast, hnRNPLL or MYOFb overexpression promoted pancreatic cancer cell migration and invasion. These results suggest that hnRNPLL is a critical factor for early PDAC metastasis. hnRNPLL and MYOFb may be potential therapeutic targets for PDAC.
期刊介绍：
Cancer Letters is a reputable international journal that serves as a platform for significant and original contributions in cancer research. The journal welcomes both full-length articles and Mini Reviews in the wide-ranging field of basic and translational oncology. Furthermore, it frequently presents Special Issues that shed light on current and topical areas in cancer research.
Cancer Letters is highly interested in various fundamental aspects that can cater to a diverse readership. These areas include the molecular genetics and cell biology of cancer, radiation biology, molecular pathology, hormones and cancer, viral oncology, metastasis, and chemoprevention. The journal actively focuses on experimental therapeutics, particularly the advancement of targeted therapies for personalized cancer medicine, such as metronomic chemotherapy.
By publishing groundbreaking research and promoting advancements in cancer treatments, Cancer Letters aims to actively contribute to the fight against cancer and the improvement of patient outcomes.
