UBAP2L and gastric cancer: In addition, mice injected with Ubap2l−/− A549 cells show less nodules in their lungs, lighter lungs and increased survival 3 weeks after injection in contrast to mice injected with Ubap2l+/+ A549 cells (Aucagne et al., 2017), while the opposite result is observed in gastric cancer when UBAP2L is overexpressed (Li et al., 2022).
