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. The gene discussed is BARX1; the disease is non-small cell lung carcinoma.
