| Research Abstract |
Analysis using clinical speicmens revealed an aberrant pre-mRNA splicing of pyruvate kinase M(PKM) in early phase during colon carcinogenesis. Such splicing dys-regulation was also observed in aberrant crypt foci of animal models. In addition, we found up-regulation of genes encoding several splicing factors, probably eliciting aberrant PKM splicing in colorectal tumor. Knock-down of these splicing factors partially restored PKM splicing-regulation of cell-lines.
