IGF2BP2 acts as a mA modification regulator in laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma through facilitating CDK6 mRNA stabilization. (PubMed, Cell Death Discov)
Furthermore, we carried out a series of experiments, including hematoxylin & eosin staining, immunohistochemical (IHC) staining, CCK-8, colony formation, transwell, flow cytometry, xenograft tumor model assays, actinomycin D assay, cycloheximide (CHX) assay, methylated mA RNA immunoprecipitation (Me-RIP), RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP) assay, to verify the relevant findings in vivo and in vitro...CDK6 knockdown caused no changes in IGF2BP2 expression, but partially eliminated the promotive effects of IGF2BP2 overexpression on LSCC cells' aggressiveness. Overexpressed IGF2BP2 in LSCC serves as an oncogenic factor, promoting LSCC cell proliferation and invasion in vitro and tumor growth in a xenograft tumor model in vivo through facilitating CDK6 mRNA stabilization.
