Abstract

Post-transcriptional regulation optimizes the balance between cellular mRNA flux and functional protein expression. Several RNABPs and noncoding RNAs participate majorly, among them HuR is one of the crucial proteins that plays significant role in mRNA stability and translation. HuR also tightens enough cell-cycle and proliferation systems by maintaining the stability of associated genes. Thus HuR becomes a central molecular gear in cancer metabolism. This chapter mainly focuses on the involvement of HuR in ROS-driven carcinogenesis development and progression.
