Introduction

Alternative pre-mRNA splicing, which is essential for turning premRNAs into mRNAs that are then translated into functional proteins, requires strictly regulated intron removal and exon joining Different splice isoforms’ expression can have a variety of impacts on stem cells’ functional traits, including as differentiation, self-renewal, dormancy, and homing. In human adult myeloid malignancies like acute myeloid leukaemia, deregulated alternative splicing has been associated with somatic mutations in splicing regulatory genes like SRSF2, U2AF1, and SF3B1. It also confers a bad prognosis (AML). In some instances, inflammatory cytokine-induced RNA editing by ADAR1—which adds novel splice acceptor sites through adenosine-to-inosine (A-to-I) RNA editing—can also result in mis-splicing in stem cell regulatory transcripts [1,2].

Identification of somatic mutations in pAML by wholeexome sequencing

Given the relative scarcity of somatic mutational drivers in pAML samples, it is possible that other molecular mechanisms, such as changes in pre-mRNA splicing, are what drive the development of LSC and treatment resistance.

4 Malignant pre-mRNA splicing dysregulation has not been documented in pAML, despite being a crucial driver of therapyresistant LSC formation in adults. We obtained bone marrow or peripheral blood from children with AML (pAML; 1 to 14 years of age) and age-matched non-leukemic people (pNL), and then we performed differential gene expression and splice isoform RNA-seq analysis to learn more about the function of malignant pre-mRNA splicing in pAML. Also, we examined patients with adult secondary AML (sAML; 59 to 82 years) and dnAML (34 to 83 years of age) [3, 4, and 5].

LSCs can be distinguished from normal blood cells based on gene expression and splicing signatures as well as the ability to self-renew in immunocompromised mouse models, according to several adult dnAML and sAML studies. LSCs can be enriched in the CD34+CD38Lineage- HSC or the CD34+CD38+Lineage HPC compartment Similar to adults with AML, children with AML who are more prone to develop resistance to treatment plans intended to kill dividing cells can be identified by the frequency of LSCs [6]. As a result, the identification and eradication of LSCs seem essential. We used RNA-seq on FACS-purified CD34+CD38+Lineage- cells (HSCs) and CD34+CD38+Lineage- cells to examine the cell type and contextspecific roles of malignant pre-mRNA splicing in pAML pathogenesis (HPCs) [7,8].

Conclusion

Data were analysed using Microsoft Excel and plotted for graph generation and statistical analyses in Prism GraphPad for splicing reporter assays, qRT-PCR analysis, and flow cytometry (San Diego, CA). Unpaired or paired tests were used to evaluate differences. According to the figure legends, Student’s t-tests are considered statistically significant when the p value is less than 0.05. Data (means) were computed and graphed for several group comparisons and stromal co-culture tests. The SD or SEM is represented by error bars, as stated in the legends of each individual figure. Using Prism GraphPad, statistical analyses including the Student’s t test and one-way ANOVA were conducted, with comparisons detailed in each figure legend [9, 10].
