Tumor-associated alterations in RNA splicing result either from mutations in
splicing-regulatory elements or changes in components of the splicing machinery.
This review summarizes our current understanding of the role of splicing-factor
alterations in human cancers. We describe splicing-factor alterations detected in
human tumors and the resulting changes in splicing, highlighting
cell-type-specific similarities and differences. We review the mechanisms of
splicing-factor regulation in normal and cancer cells. Finally, we summarize
recent efforts to develop novel cancer therapies, based on targeting either the
oncogenic splicing events or their upstream splicing regulators.
