Abstract
Osteosarcoma (OS) is the most common malignant bone tumor, characterized by a high propensity for metastasis. Recent studies have highlighted the role of alternative splicing in cancer metastasis, although the precise mechanisms underlying aberrant splicing in OS invasion and metastasis remain unclear. Here, we analyzed consistently differentially expressed genes and differentially alternative splicing events between primary and metastatic OS to identify potential genes associated with OS progression. U1 small nuclear ribonucleoprotein 70K (SNRNP70) emerged as both differentially expressed and spliced, with elevated SNRNP70 levels correlating with poor prognosis in pateints with OS. Functional experiments demonstrated that SNRNP70 overexpression enhanced the proliferation and metastasis of OS cells in vitro, while its depletion reduced these capabilities in vivo. Mechanistically, SNRNP70 directly interacted with CD55, modulating its alternative splicing and promoting tumor progression in OS. Additionally, metastatic OS samples exhibited increased infiltration of resting immune cells, and single-cell RNA sequencing revealed communication between SNRNP70-expressing osteoblastic cells and macrophages via the ADGRE5/CD55 signaling pathway. Overall, our results showed that SNRNP70 knockdown inhibited OS progression, which was associated with the splicing of CD55, indicating SNRNP70 as a promising target for OS treatment.

Usage information is collected from two different sources: this site (JCI) and Pubmed Central (PMC). JCI information (compiled daily) shows human readership based on methods we employ to screen out robotic usage. PMC information (aggregated monthly) is also similarly screened of robotic usage.
Various methods are used to distinguish robotic usage. For example, Google automatically scans articles to add to its search index and identifies itself as robotic; other services might not clearly identify themselves as robotic, or they are new or unknown as robotic. Because this activity can be misinterpreted as human readership, data may be re-processed periodically to reflect an improved understanding of robotic activity. Because of these factors, readers should consider usage information illustrative but subject to change.
