IGF2BP2 and non-small cell lung carcinoma: We showed that knockdown ATG12 expression can repress cell proliferation in IGF2BP2 overexpressing cells, while ectopically expressed ATG12 promotes cell proliferation in IGF2BP2 knockdown cells, suggesting that IGF2BP2 promotes NSCLC proliferation via the lncRNA MALAT1/ATG12 axis.
