The Nonsense-mediated Decay Pathway and Mutually Exclusive Expression of Alternatively Spliced FGFR2IIIb and -IIIc mRNAs
1 Feb 2001
Abstract excerpt
Exons IIIb and IIIc of the FGFR2 gene are alternatively spliced in a mutually exclusive manner in different cell types. A switch from expression of FGFR2IIIb to FGFR2IIIc accompanies the transition of nonmalignant rat prostate tumor epithelial cells (DTE) to cells comprising malignant AT3 tumors. Here we used transfection of minigenes with and without alterations in reading frame and with and without introns to...
