Chimeric RNAs in cancer and normal physiology

Abstract: Traditionally, chimeric RNAs were considered to be exclusive to cancer cells. When occasionally observed in normal samples, they were usually considered to be transcriptional 'noises,' or artifacts due to template switching during the reverse transcription and/or Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) steps of experimentation. However, with the advances being made in next generation sequencing technologies and software tools, as well as the accumulation of new experimental evidences, increasing numbers of chimeric tr… Show more

“…Fusion transcripts and their encoded products were earlier perceived to be an aberration with negative outcome -owing to their abundance in cancers [16][17][18] . A few isolated studies have reported the existence of fusion RNAs within the normal human genome 19,20 .…”

“…Chimeras A-J had different combinations of exons, most probably derived from alternative splicing of this three-gene primary RNA transcript. The most frequent cis-SAGe splicing pattern (termed the 2'-2' rule) occurs between the second-to-last exon of the 59 gene and the second exon of the 39 gene (Parra et al, 2006;Jia et al, 2016;Chwalenia et al, 2017). Among the 12 chimeras we identified, two were formed according to this 2'-2' rule: Chimera F had UGT2B15 exon 5 spliced to UGT2B29P2 exon 2 and chimera H had UGT2B15 exon 5 spliced to UGT2B17 exon 2.…”

“…Chimeric transcripts can be generated by trans-splicing or cis-splicing (Chwalenia et al, 2017). Trans-splicing is a noncanonical splicing process by which exons of two different primary transcripts are spliced into a single mRNA (Lei et al, 2016).…”
