ELAVL1 and metastatic malignant neoplasm in the lymph nodes: HuR, a particular RNA-binding protein (RBP) plays important role in stabilizing and modulating the translation of many of its target mRNAs including p21, c-fos, VEGF, MKP-1, TNF-α, Bcl-2, Mcl-1, and p53. Higher HuR mRNA levels are also positively correlated with the International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) tumor stage and the occurrence of lymph node metastasis [32].
