Global shortening of 3' untranslated regions (3' UTRs) through alternative polyadenylation is an emerging hallmark of cancer. A recent study identifies the cleavage factor Im 25 (CFIm25) as an important mediator of 3' UTR shortening in glioblastomas and demonstrates a causal relationship between alternative polyadenylation and cancer cell proliferation.
通过可变聚腺苷酸化导致的3'非翻译区(3'UTR)整体缩短是癌症的一个新特征。最近一项研究确定切割因子Im 25(CFIm25)是胶质母细胞瘤中3'UTR缩短的重要介导因子,并证明了可变聚腺苷酸化与癌细胞增殖之间的因果关系。
