IGF2BP2 and lung carcinoma: In particular, miRNAs and lncRNAs have been shown to be involved in lung cancer progression—for example, microRNA-485-5p suppresses growth and metastasis in non-small-cell lung cancer cells by targeting IGF2BP2 (16), whereas miRNA-124 suppresses cell proliferation in NSCLC by the down-regulation of SOX8 expression (17), and lncRNA H19 promotes lung cancer proliferation and metastasis by inhibiting the miR-200a function (18).
