The potential impact of RNA splicing abnormalities on immune regulation in endometrial cancer

Abstract

RNA splicing controls the post-transcriptional level of gene expression, allowing for the synthesis of many transcripts with various configurations and roles. Variations in RNA splicing regulatory factors, including splicing factors, signaling pathways, epigenetic modifications, and environmental factors, are typically the origin of tumor-associated splicing anomalies. Furthermore, thorough literature assessments on the intricate connection between tumor-related splicing dysregulation and tumor immunity are currently lacking. Therefore, we also thoroughly discuss putative targets associated with RNA splicing in endometrial cancer (EC) and the possible impacts of aberrant RNA splicing on the immune control of tumor cells and tumor microenvironment (TME), which contributes to enhancing the utilization of immunotherapy in the management of EC and offers an alternative viewpoint for the exploration of cancer therapies and plausible prognostic indicators.
