    We conclude that MNK2 overexpression in NSCLC is associated with proliferation, migration, invasion, and lower survival rates in patients via the phosphorylated eIF4E-mediated signaling pathway.

    MAP kinase-interacting serine/threonine kinase 2 promotes proliferation, metastasis, and predicts poor prognosis in non-small cell lung cancer.

    Data show that galeterone (gal) and VNPT55 inhibit migration and invasion of prostate cancer cells, possibly by down-regulating protein expression via antagonizing the Mnk1/2-eIF4E axis.

    Data suggest MNK1/MNK2 stimulate mRNA translation but only of mRNA containing both 5-prime-terminal cap and hairpin duplex; this stimulation involves up-regulation of phosphorylation/mRNA un-winding activity of eIF4E (via decreased binding to eIF4G).

    Inhibition of Mitogen-activated Protein Kinase (MAPK)-interacting Kinase (MNK) Preferentially Affects Translation of mRNAs Containing Both a 5'-Terminal Cap and Hairpin.
