CXCL3 and neoplasm: Upon differential analysis of CXC gene expression in LUAD patients from the TCGA LUAD, we found that the expression levels of CXC2, CXCL3, CXC12, and CXC16 in tumor tissues of LUAD patients were significantly lower than in normal tissues, while CXCL13 and CXC14 were significantly highly expressed in tumoral tissues compared to normal ones.
