Insights into the role of the N6-methyladenosine reader IGF2BP3 in the progression of oral squamous cell carcinoma and its connection to cell-cycle control. (PubMed, Transl Oncol)
Tumor cells characterized by elevated IGF2BP3 expression demonstrated a higher percentage of cells in the G2/M transition phase. This study presents new findings indicating that the molecular target IGF2BP3 can serve as a prognostic indicator for tumors and has an impact on the development and progression of OSCC by influencing the regulation of the cell cycle.

m6A reader IGF2BP1 reduces the sensitivity of nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells to Taxol by upregulation of AKT2. (PubMed, Anticancer Drugs)
Furthermore, overexpression of AKT2 reversed the inhibitory roles of IGF2BP1 silence on Taxol resistance and metastasis. Our results indicated that IGF2BP1 knockdown enhanced the sensitivity of NPC cells to Taxol by decreasing the expression of AKT2, implying that IGF2BP1 might be promising candidate target for NPC treatment.

Lastly, it is noteworthy that a discernible inverse relationship trend was observed in the levels of adipocytokines and IGFs 6 months post-surgery. This indicates that treatment for endometrial cancer may have a differential impact on adipocytokines and IGFs, potentially holding clinical significance that merits further investigation.

Furthermore, inhibition of IGF2BP3 combined with anti-CD47 antibody treatment significantly suppressed the growth of hepatoma in Hepa1-6 xenograft tumor mice. IGF2BP3 promoted the infiltration and M2-polarization of macrophages and suppressed CD8 T activation by enhancing CCL5 and TGF-β1 expression, which facilitated the progression of Hepa1-6 xenograft tumor.

IGF-2 mediated hypoglycemia and the paradox of an apparently benign lesion: a case report & review of the literature. (PubMed, BMC Endocr Disord)
The paradox in this case is that the benign solitary fibrous tumour accounted for patient morbidity through secretion of IGF2 and without treatment, posed a mortality risk. This is despite the synchronous presence of a highly malignant fallopian tube neoplasm. This case reinforces the need for thorough clinical evaluation of hypoglycemia to allow prompt and definitive management.

Insulin-like growth factor 2 mRNA-binding protein 2-stabilized long non-coding RNA Taurine up-regulated gene 1 (TUG1) promotes cisplatin-resistance of colorectal cancer via modulating autophagy. (PubMed, Bioengineered)
The TUG1 or miR-195-5p overexpression model was engineered in CRC cells, followed by treatment with DDP or the autophagy inhibitor (Chloroquine, CQ). Overexpression of miR-195-5p abated the cancer-promoting function of TUG1 and curbed the profile of the HDGF/DDX5/β-catenin axis. TUG1 stabilized by IGF2BP2 boosted CRC cell proliferation, migration, migration, and autophagy via the miR-195-5p/HDGF/DDX5/β-catenin axis, hence enhancing CRC cell's resistance to DDP.

INSULIN-LIKE GROWTH FACTORS IN THE SERUM OF PATIENTS WITH PAPILLARY THYROID CANCER. (PubMed, Wiad Lek)
The signaling system of insulin-like growth factors (IGF-1 and IGF-2) plays an important role in the occurrence and progression of malignant tumors. It is especially true for papillary thyroid cancer, so its components can be considered as potential diagnostic and prognostic markers of the disease and targets for anticancer therapy.

N-methyladenosine-modified circIGF2BP3 inhibits CD8 T-cell responses to facilitate tumor immune evasion by promoting the deubiquitination of PD-L1 in non-small cell lung cancer. (PubMed, Mol Cancer)
Our results reveal the function of circIGF2BP3 in causing immune escape from CD8 T cell-mediated killing through a decrease in PD-L1 ubiquitination and subsequent proteasomal degradation by stabilizing OTUB1 mRNA in a PKP3-dependent manner. This work sheds light on a novel mechanism of PD-L1 regulation in NSCLC and provides a rationale to enhance the efficacy of anti-PD-1 treatment in NSCLC.
