Furthermore, inhibition of Alkbh3, an m1A demethylase, resulted in decreased proliferation in HeLa, PANC-1, and NSCLC cancer cells, suggesting a potential role for this demethylase in proliferation (Tasaki et al., 2011; Ueda et al., 2017; Chen et al., 2019). This evidence concerns the gene ALKBH3 and cancer.
