Background: Pure uterine serous carcinoma (p-USC) and mixed tumors with serous component (m-USC) are aggressive subtypes of endometrial cancer associated with high mortality rates. This retrospective study aimed to compare clinicopathologic features and outcomes of p-USC and m-USC in a single center.

Methods: This study retrospectively reviewed patients diagnosed with USC at Peking University People's Hospital between 2008 and 2022.

Background: Angiogenesis provides essential nutrients and oxygen for tumor growth and has become the main mechanism of tumor invasion and metastasis. Exosomes are nanoscale membrane vesicles containing proteins, lipids, mRNA and microRNA (miRNA), which mediate intercellular communication and play an important role in tumor progression. Accumulated evidence indicates that tumor-derived exosomal miRNAs participate in the tumor microenvironment and promote angiogenesis.

Expression of the immunoglobulin superfamily member CD155 was increased in a variety of human malignancies, but the role of CD155 in tumorigenesis and tumor development in cervical cancer has not been elucidated. In this study, immunohistochemistry and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay analyses showed that CD155 expression gradually increases with the degree of cervical lesions. In vitro and , reducing the expression of CD155 inhibited cell proliferation, cell viability and tumor formation and arrested the cell cycle in G0/G1 phase.

To explore the optimal way to manage patients with high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (HSIL) and positive margin by identifying the risk factors for its recurrence and residue.A retrospective study was conducted on 267 cases of a pathologically confirmed HSIL with positive margin following conization by loop electrosurgical excisional procedure (LEEP) between January 2010 and December 2015. One hundred two cases were selected for regular follow-up every 6 months, and 165 cases were selected for a second surgery (repeat cervical conization or hysterectomy) within 3 months of initial LEEP.

Transforming growth factor (TGF)‑β1 is a key cytokine affecting the pathogenesis and progression of cervical cancer. Tumor‑derived exosomes contain microRNAs (miRNAs/miRs) that interact with cancer and stromal cells, thereby contributing to tissue remodeling in the tumor microenvironment (TME). The present study was designed to clarify how TGF‑β1 affects tumor biological functions through exosomes released by cervical cancer cells.

CD155/T cell immunoreceptor with Ig and ITIM domains (TIGIT) is a novel type of immune checkpoint. CD155 is an adhesion molecule that is upregulated during tumor progression and promotes the proliferative and migratory abilities of tumor cells via various pathways. TIGIT, an inhibitory receptor, is mainly expressed on natural killer (NK), CD8+ T, CD4+ T and T regulatory (Treg) cells.

Recent studies have reported that filamin A (FLNa) and uncoupling protein 2 (UCP2) are highly expressed in various types of cancer, but little is currently known about their roles in cervical cancer (CC). In the present study, immunohistochemical staining of paraffin sections of cervical tissues was performed in order to compare the differential expression of FLNa, UCP2, p16 and Ki67 between CC and high‑grade intraepithelial neoplasia (HSIL). UCP2 and FLNa were knocked down in CC cell lines to investigate the effects on cell proliferation, cell cycle arrest, apoptosis, migration and invasion.

Background: In China, cervical cancer is one of the most common gynecologic malignancies. Cervical cytology is an essential method for screening cervical cancer and cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN), and the most common cytological abnormality result is atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance (ASC-US). Therefore, how to effectively deal with ASC-US cytology has become the focus of scholars.

Background: It is unclear whether low density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 11 (LRP11), a newly found lipoprotein receptor regulatory protein, has the carcinogenic effects in cervical cancer.

Methods: Bioinformatics analysis, immunohistochemical (IHC) staining and evaluation, cell proliferation assay, flow cytometry, transwell migration and invasion assays, Western blotting, growth of LRP11-silenced cells in athymic nude mice were performed in this research.

Results: We found that LRP11 expression was higher in high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (HSIL) and cervical cancer tissue than in normal cervix, and high expression of LRP11 was associated with differentiation degree (=0.
