“…Similarly, Figure 4b portrays the regulatory network that represents the MAPK signaling cluster of the selected MK2 pathway genes (AUF1, CEBP, CUGBP1δ, HuR, MK2, MKP-1, p27, p38, TNF-α, TTP, and VEGF) in the transcriptome profiling data of the in vitro HNSCC cell line dataset (B vs A, normoxic microenvironment) indicated TNF-α and VEGF downregulation. Interestingly, the transcriptomic profiling results are in complete consonance with our recently published findings and hence succeed in potentiating and validating the hypothesis that MK2-knockdown destabilized TNF-α and VEGF in normoxia via RBP-mediated interactions [5, 65, 66, 67, 68, 69, 70, 71, 72].…”
