Musashi-2 in cancer-associated fibroblasts promotes non-small cell lung cancer metastasis through paracrine IL-6-driven epithelial-mesenchymal transition [PDF]
Background Lung cancer, the most common cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide, is predominantly associated with advanced/metastatic disease. The interaction between tumor cells and cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) in tumor microenvironment is ...

Prognostic marker Musashi-2 modulates DNA damage response and radioresistance in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma [PDF]
IntroductionTreatment resistance is a major hurdle in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) therapy. Here, we assessed the relevance of the Musashi (MSI) RNA-binding protein family for DLBCL treatment efficacy.

MicroRNA-143/Musashi-2/KRAS cascade contributes positively to carcinogenesis in human bladder cancer. [PDF]
AbstractIt has been well established that microRNA (miR)‐143 is downregulated in human bladder cancer (BC). Recent precision medicine has shown that mutations in BC are frequently observed in FGFR3, RAS and PIK3CA genes, all of which correlate with RAS signaling networks.

Musashi-2 is a prognostic marker for the survival of patients with cervical cancer. [PDF]
Cervical cancer is one of the most common gynecological malignancies. Mousasi 2 (Msi2) is a RNA-binding protein that regulates various key cellular functions and has emerged as a crucial regulator of cancer development. However, the clinical significance and biological functions of Msi2 in cervical cancer remain unknown.

PLAG1 and USF2 Co-regulate Expression of Musashi-2 in Human Hematopoietic Stem and Progenitor Cells [PDF]
Summary: MSI2, which is expressed predominantly in hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs), enforces HSPC expansion when overexpressed and is upregulated in myeloid leukemias, indicating its regulated transcription is critical to balanced self ...

CircMALAT1 promotes cancer stem‐like properties and chemoresistance via regulating Musashi‐2/c‐Myc axis in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma [PDF]
The primary challenge in treating esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is resistance to chemotherapy. Cancer stem cell (CSC) is the root cause of tumor drug resistance. Therefore, targeting CSCs has been considered promising therapeutic strategy for

Musashi-2 Silencing Exerts Potent Activity against Acute Myeloid Leukemia and Enhances Chemosensitivity to Daunorubicin. [PDF]
RNA-binding protein Musashi-2 (Msi2) is known to play a critical role in leukemogenesis and contributes to poor clinical prognosis in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). However, the effect of Msi2 silencing on treatment for AML still remains poorly understood.
