Besides, WTAP regulates the expression of certain genes related to motility of cancer cells, such as chemokine ligand 2 (CCL2), chemokine ligand 3 (CCL3), matrix metallopeptidase 3 (MMP3), lysyl oxidase-like 1 (LOXL1), hyaluronan synthase 1 (HAS1), and thrombospondin 1 (THBS1) (Jin et al., 2012). Here, HAS1 is linked to cancer.
