NUCLEOLIN and cancer: It has been evident that NCL is capable of inducing the maturation of some cancer-related miRNAs [9], acting as an adhesion molecule modulating cell-matrix interaction in angiogenesis, regulating cell migration [10], functioning as an anti-apoptotic element by acting as a BCL2-stabilizing factor [11–13], and acting as a macrophage receptor for early apoptotic cells [14].
