ABSTRACT
Alternative splicing is a key mechanism that regulates protein diversity and has been found to be associated with colon cancer progression and metastasis. However, the function of alternative splicing in chemoradiationresistant colon cancer remains elusive. In this study, we constructed a chemoradiationresistant colon cancer cell line. Through RNA-sequencing of normal and chemoradiationresistant colon cancer cells (HCT116), we found 818 genes that were highly expressed in the normal HCT116 cells, whereas 285 genes were highly expressed in the chemoradiation-resistant HCT116 (RCR-HCT116) cells. Gene ontology (GO) analysis showed that genes that were highly expressed in the HCT116 cells were enriched in GO categories related to cell cycle and cell division, whereas genes that were highly expressed in the RCR-HCT116 cells were associated with regulation of system processes and response to wounding. Analysis of alternative splicing events revealed that exon skipping was significantly increased in the chemoradiationresistant colon cancer cells. Moreover, we identified 323 alternative splicing events in 293 genes that were significantly different between the two different HCT116 cell types. These alternative splicingrelated genes were clustered functionally into several groups related with DNA replication, such as deoxyribonucleotide metabolic/catabolic processes, response to DNA damage stimulus and helicase activity. These findings enriched our knowledge by elucidating the function of alternative splicing in chemoradiation-resistant colon cancer.
