Further analysis showed that four candidate RBPs showed significant dysregulation in TCGA datasets (IGF2BP3, ZFP36, CBX7, KHDRBS2); more importantly, only ZFP36 expression correlated with BARX1 expression in both CCLE (Fig. 2A) and TCGA (Fig. 2B) database in NSCLC by Spearman’s correlation analysis. Here, CBX7 is linked to non-small cell lung carcinoma.
