ZMYND11 and neoplasm: Notably, HNRNPA1 has been implicated in the assembly of stress granules into liquid-like droplets through a process known as liquid-liquid phase separation, with stress granule formation playing roles in preventing cancer cell apoptosis, tumor progression and chemotherapeutic resistance.20,27,33,49,50 We therefore explored the role of the ZMYND11-HNRNPA1 association in stress granule dynamics by treating cells with sodium arsenite (SA; 0.5 mM, 1 h).
