Interestingly, opposite trends of YAP and ALKBH5 expression were observed in paired fresh NSCLC tumor cancer tissues (Tumor) and matched adjacent normal tissues (Normal) by RT-PCR, western blotting, and qPCR (left panel, n = 10; right panel, n = 30) (Fig. 1a, Additional file 2: Fig. S1a, b, n = 10), and immunohistochemistry (IHC) (Fig. 1b, n = 10). Here, ALKBH5 is linked to non-small cell lung carcinoma.
