m 6 A demethylase FTO facilitates tumor progression in lung squamous cell carcinoma by regulating MZF1 expression

N6-Methyladenosine (m6A) represents the most prevalent internal modification in mammalian mRNAs. Emerging evidences suggest that m6A modification is profoundly implicated in many biological processes, including cancer development. However, limited knowledge is available about the functional importance of m6A in lung cancer. In this study, by data mining The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database, we first identified fat mass- and obesity-associated...
