Jafarifar et al. showed that the binding of the splicing factor hnRNP L to a CA-rich sequence element in the VEGFA 3′-UTR under hypoxia led to competitive displacement of miRNAs miR-297, -299, -567 and -605 and consequently derepression of VEGFA expression in tumor-associated macrophages [30]. Here, VEGFA is linked to neoplasm.
