摘要

Lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) progression involves alterations in oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes, collectively shaping tumorigenic landscape. However, the precise interactions within this landscape remain inadequately understood. Here, we present a functional characterization of a novel long non-coding RNA (lncRNA), SPAT (splice associated transcript). SPAT is downregulated in LUAD and its expression positively correlates with favorable prognosis. In vitro and in vivo experiments demonstrated that SPAT inhibits the migration of LUAD cells. This inhibitory effect is mediated by SPAT’s interaction with splicing factor 1 (SF1), which disrupts SF1-mediated splicing of KITLG/SCF exon 6, thereby suppressing ERK phosphorylation. Our findings suggest that SPAT acts as a tumor suppressor in LUAD by regulating alternative splicing and highlight its potential as a therapeutic target for managing LUAD metastasis.
