N6-Methyladenosine-related alternative splicing events play a role in bladder cancer

This study investigated the role of N6-methyladenosine (m6A) and alternative splicing (AS) in bladder cancer (BLCA). The BLCA-related RNA expression profiles and AS events were downloaded from the UCSC Xena and SpliceSeq databases, respectively. Differentially expressed AS (DEAS) was screened, and p...

description This study investigated the role of N6-methyladenosine (m6A) and alternative splicing (AS) in bladder cancer (BLCA). The BLCA-related RNA expression profiles and AS events were downloaded from the UCSC Xena and SpliceSeq databases, respectively. Differentially expressed AS (DEAS) was screened, and prognostic-related DEAS events were used to construct prognostic risk models based on Cox proportional hazards regression analysis. Receiver operating characteristic curves and multivariate Cox analysis were used to evaluate the predictive efficiency and independence of these models. We also constructed a protein-to-protein interaction (PPI) network and a regulation network of splicing factors (SFs) and DEAS events. In total, 225 m6A-related prognostic-related DEAS events were identified. The predictive ability of each prognostic model was good, and the alternate terminator model showed the best performance when the area under the curve was 0.793. The risk score of the model was an independent prognostic factor for BLCA. The PPI network revealed that AKT serine/threonine kinase 1, serine- and arginine-rich SF6, and serine- and arginine-rich SF2 had higher-node degrees. A complex regulator correlation was shown in the SF and DEAS networks. This study provides insights for the subsequent understanding of the role of AS events in BLCA.
