In mesenchymal glioblastoma stem-like cells, through direct binding to two RNA binding proteins, DHX9 (ATP-dependent RNA helicase A) and IGF2BP2 (insulin-like growth factor 2 mRNA-binding protein 2), lncRNA HIF1A-AS2 could facilitate the interaction between this protein complex and their mRNA target HMGA1 (high mobility group AT-hook 1), thereby enhancing HMGA1 expression as well as the downstream molecular response to hypoxic stress [46, 47]. This evidence concerns the gene DHX9 and glioblastoma.
