With the aim of further verifying the biological functions of MRPS17 in GC, we first evaluated the expression levels of MRPS17 in different GC cell lines by performing QT-PCR, result of which demonstrated that MRPS17 was significantly up-regulated in a few GC cell lines, especially in AGS and SGC7901 (Figure 8A). Here, MRPS17 is linked to gastric cancer.
