Also, IGF2BP1 is an oncofetal mRNA-binding protein expressed in various cancers including leukemia, squamous cell carcinoma, and non-small cell lung cancer and in different stem cell types such as BM-MSCs, adipose tissue derived MSCs, and UCB-hematopoietic stem cells, and these expression patterns could correlate with their proliferation and tumorigenicity potential [25, -27]. This evidence concerns the gene IGF2BP1 and cancer.
