Ribosomal protein L38 (RPL38) controls proliferation and apoptosis in gastric cancer through the miR-374b-5p/vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) signaling pathway (Ji and Zhang, 2020) and is overexpressed in a resistant BC ductal cell line (Hurvitz et al., 2015). Here, RPL38 is linked to gastric cancer.
