These effects could be due to different mRNAs being targeted by ALKBH5 in different cancer cells, for example, FOMX1 in glioblastoma, LYPD1 in hepatocellular carcinoma, PD-L1 in Intrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma, and so on.18–20 Furthermore, ALKBH5 has also been shown to function as a regulator of miRNA or lncRNA expression to promote tumorigenesis.21 However, at present, the role of ALKBH5 in cervical cancer development remains poorly understood. This evidence concerns the gene ALKBH5 and cancer.
