IGF2 mRNA Binding Protein-2 is a tumor promoter that drives cancer proliferation through its client mRNAs IGF2 and HMGA1

The gene encoding the IGF2 mRNA binding protein-2/IMP2 is amplified and overexpressed in many cancers, accompanied by a poorer prognosis. Mice deficient in IMP2 exhibit a longer lifespan and a reduced tumor burden at old age. Herein we show in a diverse array of cancer cells that IMP2 overexpression stimulates and IMP2 elimination diminishes proliferation by 50-80%. In addition to its known ability to promote IGF2 abundance, we find that IMP2 strongly promotes IGF action, by binding and stabiliz...
