Abstract
RNA binding proteins (RBPs) are key factors regulating post-transcriptional events. Categorized as RBPs, RBM24 expression levels have been shown to be a prognosis-related pivotal gene in oral squamous cell carcinoma. We analyzed the binding targets and regulated post-transcriptional events of RBM24 in RBM24-overexpressing cell lines and controls using iRIP-seq and RNA-seq. RBM24-overexpressing cells showed significant changes in gene expression, which are involved in biological pathways related to apoptosis and immune inflammation. RBM24-regulated genes that undergo alternative splicing are primarily engaged in biological processes related to DNA damage repair and RNA metabolism. More notably, we found that RBM24 binds to lncRNAs in addition to pre-mRNAs. These results indicated that RBM24 could play a key role in cancer progression by finding clinical therapeutic targets for Oral squamous cell carcinoma.
