Current therapies for metastatic melanoma are targeted either at cancer mutations driving growth (e.g., vemurafenib) or immune-based therapies (e.g., ipilimumab). Tumour progression also requires angiogenesis, which is regulated by VEGF-A, itself alternatively spliced to form two families of isoforms, pro- and anti-angiogenic. Metastatic melanoma is associated with a splicing switch to pro-angiogenic VEGF-A, previously shown to be regulated by SRSF1 phosphorylation by SRPK1. Here, we show a novel approach to preventing angiogenesis-targeting splicing factor kinases that are highly expressed in melanomas.
