Alternative splicing is a crucial process for regulating gene expression in eukaryotes, and dysregulation of this process has been implicated in multiple diseases, including cancer. SF3B3 is a key splicing factor that has been shown to be upregulated in various cancers, including colon cancer, renal cell carcinoma, hepatocellular carcinoma, and breast cancer. Mutations in SF3B3 have been found to promote the proliferation, colony formation, migration, and invasion of liver cancer cells. In this study, we report the successful construction of an overexpression vector for SF3B3 using homologous recombination. The pMXsSF3B3 recombinant plasmid serves as a foundation for further investigation into the function of SF3B3 in tumorigenesis. The link between splicing and transcription and the potential of spliceosome components as therapeutic targets for cancer treatment is highlighted by this study.
