ALKBH5 and familial pancreatic carcinoma: Previous studies have reported that METTL3 (Xia et al., 2019), METTL14 (Wang M. et al., 2020; Chen S. et al., 2021), WTAP (Li et al., 2019), FTO (Tang et al., 2019), ALKBH5 (Guo et al., 2020; Tang et al., 2020), YTHDF2 (Chen et al., 2017), and YTHDC1 (Hou et al., 2021) play pivotal roles in regulating the proliferation, metastasis, and chemosensitivity of pancreatic cancer cells.
