Fig. 3From: Noncoding RNAs regulate alternative splicing in CancerNcRNAs regulate AS through cis-acting elements. a One example of a cis-NAT: the lncRNA Saf binds specifically to the Ex 6 (exon 6) region of the Fas pre-mRNA and recruits SPF45, resulting in the expression of the sFas isoform, which consequently inhibits apoptosis. b One example of a trans-NAT: the lncRNA BC200 binds to Bcl-x pre-mRNA Ex 3 (exon 3) and recruits hnRNPA1/B2 to form the BC200-Bcl-x-hnRNPA2/B1 complex. This complex contributes to Bcl-xL expression and apoptosis resistance in breast tumor cellsBack to article page
