Cervical cancer (CC) is the most common gynecologic malignancy, which seriously threatens the health of women. Lipid metabolism is necessary for tumor proliferation and metastasis. However, the molecular mechanism of the relationship between CC and lipid metabolism remains poorly defined.

At present, no effective control method is available for this cancer type. In tumor cells, especially iron metabolization, is necessary for its growth and proliferation.

Objective To investigate the effect of insulin-like growth factor 2 mRNA binding protein 2 (IGF2BP2) on the proliferation, migration and tumor immune microenvironment of colorectal cancer cells and its possible molecular mechanism. Methods The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database was used to analyze the expression levels of IGF2BP2 and MYC in colorectal cancer and adjacent tissues. The expression of IGF2BP2 in HCT-116 and SW480 human colorectal cancer cells was silenced by RNA interference (RNAi), and the silencing effect was detected by quantitative real-time PCR.

Objective To investigate the effect of methyltransferase-like 14 (METTL14) on the proliferation and metastasis of cervical cancer cells and its possible molecular mechanism. Methods The expression of METTL14 and Myc in cervical cancer tissues and normal tissues were analyzed using Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database and cervical cancer tissue microarray. The expression of METTL14 in HeLa and SiHa cells was silenced by small interfering RNA.

Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is the main cause of cervical cancer (CC); however, the associated molecular mechanisms remain poorly defined, as does the relationship between CC and aerobic glycolysis. To investigate whether HPV 16/18 E6/E7 can enhance aerobic glycolysis in CC, E6/E7 expression was knocked down in SiHa and HeLa cells using small interfering RNA (siRNA).

Background: Taxol-resistance gene 1 (TXR1) is closely correlated with the paclitaxel resistance in the cancer chemotherapy. However, due to the lack of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) with strong specificity and high sensitivity, little information is found about TXR1 target-related tumor therapy.
Methods: We developed an TXR1 recombinant DNA vaccine by inserting TXR1 DNA sequence into lysosome-associated membrane protein 1 (LAMP1).
