Aim:
To explore the mechanisms by which splicing factor SC35 regulates the costimulatory molecule B7-H3 expression in vitro through bioinformatic and molecular biological methods.
Methods:
We screened some regulatory proteins which might take part in regulating B7-H3 expression using bioinformatic methods. Then RNA interference (RNAi) and real-time PCR were performed to test if these proteins took part in the regulation.
Results:
Splicing factor SC35, SRP40 and SF50 might play an important role in the regulation of B7-H3 expression. In PHA-activated T cells, B7-H3 was upregulated obviously and at the same time SC35 was also upregulated. When we suppressed SC35 expression using RNAi, we found B7-H3 was also downregulated.
Conclusion:
Splicing factor SC35 might take part in the regulation of B7-H3 expression, which could help understand B7-H3 biological function.
