Background: ALKBH5
ALKBH5 has been implicated in various physiological and pathophysiological processes. In mice, ALKBH5 is highly expressed in the testes where loss of ALKBH5 expression leads to decreased spermatogenesis, abnormal spermatozoa and increased apoptosis (3). In glioblastoma, ALKBH5 overexpression promotes stemness and tumor progression (2). In breast cancer cells under hypoxic conditions, HIF-1 alpha and HIF-2 alpha induce the expression of ALKH5 and leads to increased demethylation and expression of Nanog thus promoting breast cancer stem cell properties (4).
