URGCP and cancer: To verify these data, we analyzed several publicly available mRNA expression datasets of NSCLC cancer tissue versus paired non-tumor lung tissue (GSE27262, n = 25; GSE19804, n = 60; GSE43458, n = 30 and GSE10072, n = 32) and found that the expression level of URGCP significantly increased in NSCLC cancer tissue (each P < 0.001) (Fig. 1G).
