One function of IGF2R is to bind to the ligand IGF2, leading to IGF2 degradation and consequently an inhibition of the growth stimulation that results from the interaction between IGF2 and IGF1R48, 49. IGF2 is upregulated in CAFs50, suggesting that IGF2R is inhibited. Therefore, reduction in IGF2R following treatment with miR-211 or melanosomes may increase IGF2 levels, promoting its binding to IGF1R, and thus leading to hyperactivation of this pathway and increased proliferation.
