A meta-analysis was conducted on the associations between the CTLA-4 +49 A/G, -318 C/T, IL-1B -511 C/T, and IL-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1RN) polymorphisms and cervical cancer.We included 15 studies on cervical cancer.
Several human ovarian and cervical cancer cell lines spontaneously express the icIL-1Ra. icIL-1Ra-expressing cells did not have altered growth characteristics or altered short term responses to IL-1 compared with icIL-1Ra-nonexpressing cells.
