Similarly, a recent study found that miR‐372 is associated with a decrease in cell cycle entry and increased cell apoptosis in NPC TW01 cells, revealing that miR‐372 could serve as a tumor suppressor in NPC cells.25 In addition, tumor cell invasion and proliferation were found to be restrained by miR‐372 via IGF2BP1 in renal cell carcinoma.9 Additionally, the current study further explored the effect of miR‐372 on radiosensitivity, which suggested that up‐regulation of miR‐372 promoted radiosensitivity. Here, IGF2BP1 is linked to hereditary clear cell renal cell carcinoma.
