Targeting SRSF1 improves cancer immunotherapy by dually acting on CD8+T and tumor cells by Gui-Qi Zhu, Zheng Tang, Tian-Hao Chu, Biao Wang, Shi-Ping Chen, Chen-Yang Tao, Jia-Liang Cai, Rui Yang, Wei-Feng Qu, Yi Wang, Qian-Fu Zhao, Run Huang, Meng-Xin Tian, Yuan Fang, Jun Gao, Xiao-Ling Wu, Jian Zhou, Wei-Ren Liu, Zhi Dai, Ying-Hong Shi, Jia Fan

“…Abstract Serine arginine-rich splicing factor 1 (SRSF1) is a key oncogenic splicing factor in various cancers, promoting abnormal gene expression through post-translational regulation. Although the protumoral function of SRSF1 is well-established, the effects of inhibiting tumor-intrinsic SRSF1 on the tumor microenvironment and its impact on CD8+ T cell-mediated antitumor immunity remain unclear. …”
