As shown in Fig. 1d-f, the data extracted from GSE 10072, GSE 31210 and GSE 32863 consistently indicated that there was no significantly statistical difference of AKT2 expression in NSCLC tissues when compared to adjacent tissues, but there was an upward trend of AKT2 mRNA levels in NSCLC tissues compared with normal tissues. This evidence concerns the gene AKT2 and non-small cell lung carcinoma.
