Background: Increasing evidence has revealed that -methyladenosine (mA) modification is implicated in multiple biological functions in mammals. Methyltransferase-like 14 (METTL14), an important component of mA modification, has been reported to play important roles in the pathogenesis of acute myeloid leukaemia and hepatocellular carcinoma metastasis. However, its role in cervical cancer remains unclear.

DUSP6 is a negative regulator of ERK signaling, which is a molecular switch involved in MAPK signaling during the progress of malignancies. DUSP6 was previously found to inhibit tumorigenesis and EMT-associated properties in several cancers, however, its exact role in EAC remains unclear Methods The level of DUSP6, (E-cad) and (N-cad) in EAC cancerous tissues and respective adjacent non-cancerous tissues were examined by western-blot or immunohistochemistry.

Previous studies have suggested that overexpression of SPRY4 intronic transcript 1 () predicates poor prognosis and promotes tumor progress in cervical cancer (CC). However, the underlying mechanism of in CC remains unknown.
