The preliminary report revealed that the SNP rs4846048 of MTHFR enhanced the risk of CC through association with miR-522, which further regulated cell viability and apoptosis in Hela cells.
Expression of a specific carbohydrate ligand for the immune-regulatory C-type lectin MGL was correlated to poor disease-specific survival and distant recurrences in squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and adenosquamous carcinoma (ASC), the most common histological subtypes of cervical cancer.
For the individuals older than 43, rs4604006 (VEGF-C) was related to an increased cervical cancer risk under codominant model (p = .035), and rs12646659 was significantly associated with a reduced cervical cancer risk in allele, dominant, log-additive models (allele: p = .028; codominant: p = .037; log-additive: p = .037) However, there were no significant correlation of rs1000611 (VEGFR-2) and rs1195571 (VEGFR-3) with cervical cancer risk in Chinese Uygur population.
In summary, plasma exosomal miR-30d-5p and let-7d-3p are valuable diagnostic biomarkers for non-invasive screening of cervical cancer and its precursors.
The purposes of this study were to explore the role of miR-802 in cervical cancer and to clarify the regulation of serine/arginine-rich splicing factor 9 (SRSF9) by miR-802.
Since metastasis-associated protein 1 (MTA1) upregulation and augmentation of APOBEC3B expression are both strongly associated with cervical cancer (CCa) development, and both molecules have been shown to be functionally associated with NF-κB pathway, we therefore sought to investigate the potential mechanistic link between MTA1, APOBEC3B and NF-κB during the pathogenesis of cisplatin (CDDP) resistance in HPV-positive CCa cells.
TLR4 haplotype GTAC and TLR9 haplotype GATC were associated with the increased risk of cervical cancer while TLR4 haplotype GCAG was associated with the decreased risk.
Collectively, our results demonstrated that the high expression of AIB1 in cervical cancer cells contributes to the resistance to CRT, which provides the evidence that AIB1 may be a promising predictor of aggressive cervical cancer patients with poor response to CRT.
Consistently, we found that MNK kinase inhibitor is effective in inhibiting proliferation and migration, and inducing apoptosis in cervical cancer but not normal cervical cells.
Our results have revealed a novel mechanism by which high-risk HPVs promote motility and angiogenesis of CC by inhibiting expression of lnc-CCDST to disrupt MDM2 and DHX9 interaction, and DHX9 degradation, and identified a potential therapeutic target for CC.
