In addition, compared to the normal human lung epithelial cell line, BEAS-2B cells, the expression level of AKAP4 was dramatically elevated in the NSCLC cell lines (Figure 1c), among which the highest expression level of AKAP4 was observed in H460 cells (**p < 0.01, vs. BEAS-2B cells). The gene discussed is AKAP4; the disease is non-small cell lung carcinoma.
