Summary
{"type": "root", "children": [{"type": "p", "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "\n HNRNPCL2, also known as RALY, has been demonstrated to play a pivotal role in colorectal cancer by acting as an RNA‐binding protein and an essential component of the Drosha microprocessor complex. In this context, HNRNPCL2 facilitates the post‐transcriptional processing of a specific subset of microRNAs—miR‑483, miR‑676, and miR‑877—via an N6‑methyladenosine–mediated mechanism activated under reactive oxygen species stress. The mature miRNAs, in turn, downregulate key metabolism‐associated genes (ATP5I, ATP5G1, ATP5G3, and CYC1), thereby reprogramming mitochondrial metabolism, which contributes to enhanced tumor aggressiveness and correlates with poor prognosis in colorectal cancer patients."}, {"type": "fg", "children": [{"type": "fg_f", "ref": "1"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": "\n "}]}, {"type": "t", "text": "\n "}, {"type": "p", "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "\n In parallel, comprehensive whole‐exome sequencing studies in endometrial cancer have revealed a range of high‐frequency mutation sites across multiple genes, including members of the heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein family.
