Higher ACK1 mRNA levels were observed in diffuse gastric adenocarcinoma or gastric intestinal adenocarcinoma compared to gastric mucosa tissues in the Chen and Derrico gastric datasets, respectively (Figure 1C and 1D) [19, 20], suggesting that ACK1 expression was up-regulated in GC. Here, TNK2 is linked to diffuse gastric adenocarcinoma.
