IGF2BP1 and colorectal cancer: These studies in cell lines were corroborated by a study by Andres and colleagues [65], who found that 3′UTR shortening of insulin-like growth factor mRNA binding protein 1 (IGF2BP1) led to the loss of let-7 regulation, resulting in elevated IGF2BP1 expression and accelerated liver metastasis in colorectal cancer patients.
