Abstract: Objective To investigate spliceosome of suppresser of fused(SUFU),a major member of hedgehog signaling pathway in human pancreatic cancer.Methods SUFU fragment was amplified by using reverse transcription and 3' RACE.After sequencing,a new exon was discovered,and then nSUFU was amplified by RT-PCR.nSUFU and SUFU were transfected into SW1990 by liposomes,and then the expressions of SUFU protein encoded by new spliceosome in SW1990 cells and pancreatic cancer tissues were detected by Western blot.Results PCR products by 3'RACE were of 600 bp,after sequencing and comparison with Blast data of NCBI,it was detected that a new exon was inserted between SUFU mRNA isoforml (NM_016169.3) exon 10 and exon 11.After verification with SW1990,it was noted the entire new spliceosome containing new exon was of 1400 bp.SW1990 with nSUFU transfection strongly expressed nSUFU protein,and pancreatic cancer tissues expressed both SUFU and nSUFU protein.Conclusions A new spliceosome of SUFU,which can encode SUFU protein,is present in pancreatic cancer tissue and cell.
