Abstract

Background: RNA splicing, a fundamental step in gene expression, is aimed at intron removal and ordering of exons to form the protein’s reading frame.

Objective: This review is focused on the role of RNA splicing in cancer biology; the splicing abnormalities that lead to tumor progression emerge as targets for therapeutic intervention.

Methods: We discuss the role of aberrant mRNA splicing in carcinogenesis and drug response.

Results and Conclusion: Pharmacological modulation of RNA splicing sets the stage for treatment approaches in situations where mRNA splicing is a clinically meaningful mechanism of the disease.

Keywords: Cancer, molecular drug targets, RNA splicing, therapy, protein kinase inhibitors.
