  • Title: MDM2 and its splice variant messenger RNAs: expression in tumors and down-regulation using antisense oligonucleotides.
    Author: Bartel F, Harris LC, Würl P, Taubert H.
    Journal: Mol Cancer Res; 2004 Jan; 2(1):29-35. PubMed ID: 14757843.
    Abstract:
    Alternative splicing has an important role in expanding protein diversity. An example of a gene with more than one transcript is the MDM2 oncogene. To date, more than 40 different splice variants have been isolated from both tumor and normal tissues. Here, we review what is known about the alteration of MDM2 mRNA expression, focusing on alternative splicing and potential functions of different MDM2 isoforms. We also discuss the progress that has been made in the development of antisense oligonucleotides targeted to MDM2 for use as a potential cancer therapy.
