HNRNPs participated in cancer‐related pathways including protein secretion, mitotic spindle, G2/M checkpoint, DNA repair, IL6/JAK/STAT3 signal and coagulation, of which hnRNP genes of HNRNPF, HNRNPH2, HNRNPU and HNRNPUL1 are more likely to be implicated. This evidence concerns the gene HNRNPUL1 and cancer.
