Alternative splicing (AS) is tightly regulated to maintain genomic stability in humans. However, tumor growth, metastasis and therapy resistance benefit from aberrant RNA splicing. Iroquois-class homeodomain protein 4 (IRX4) is a TALE homeobox transcription factor which has been implicated in prostate cancer (PCa) as a tumor suppressor through genome-wide association studies (GWAS) and functional follow-up studies. In the current study, we characterized 12 IRX4 transcripts in PCa cell lines, including seven novel transcripts by RT-PCR and sequencing. They demonstrate unique expression profiles between androgen-responsive and nonresponsive cell lines. These transcripts were significantly overexpressed in PCa cell lines and the cancer genome atlas program (TCGA) PCa clinical specimens, suggesting their probable involvement in PCa progression. Moreover, a PCa risk-associated SNP rs12653946 genotype GG was corelated with lower IRX4 transcript levels. Using mass spectrometry analysis, we identified two IRX4 protein isoforms (54.4 kDa, 57 kDa) comprising all the functional domains and two novel isoforms (40 kDa, 8.7 kDa) lacking functional domains. These IRX4 isoforms might induce distinct functional programming that could contribute to PCa hallmarks, thus providing novel insights into diagnostic, prognostic and therapeutic significance in PCa management.
