According to the results from TCGA, the expression levels of ANXA5 in NSCLC tissues were significantly lower in lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC) and lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) (Table 1) compared to matched normal samples, which is consistent with our proteomic result from LUSC and adjacent normal tissues [6, 21]. Here, ANXA5 is linked to lung adenocarcinoma.
