ZFP36 and cancer: The level of ZFP36 mRNA in TCGA database was increased in the normal prostate tissue as compared with PCa (normal: 13.04 ± 1.35; cancer: 12.49 ± 1.52, P = 0.012) (Figure 1(b)), while via Taylor database, the expression of ZFP36 mRNA in normal prostate tissue was lower than that in PCa (normal: 9.03 ± 0.76; cancer: 9.47 ± 0.97, P = 0.024) (Figure 1(c)).
