Sequencing facilitates quantitative analysis of transcriptomes in wild type and Lrp6-knockdown cells

Results and conclusions: We detected a substantial number of Lrp6 loss-induced AS events, and up to nearly 50 of them were exon-skipped. A gene ontology analysis of the conserved LRP6-driven network showed enrichment for ninety-four genes encoding proteins mainly involved in cellular and metabolic processes . Among them, a decade of genes with LRP6-dependent isoform expression showed identical splicing patterns on the exon level across species. The RNA sequencing results were further verified by Semiquantitative PCR. We conclude that LRP6 could regulate mRNA splicing.
