Interleukin (IL)-17 has been regarded as a significant factor in inflammation. In addition, IL-17 is known to be involved in the progression of cancers; however, the function of IL-17 in cervical cancer remains unclear. In the present study, cell viability was detected by Cell Counting Kit-8 assay. Quantitative PCR and western blotting were performed to detect gene and protein expression levels, respectively, in cancer cells or tissues. Ki-67 staining was used to evaluate cell proliferation. Wound-healing assay was used to detect cell migration. Moreover, Transwell assay was performed to investigate the invasion of cervical cancer cells. The results revealed that IL-17 significantly promoted the proliferation of cervical cancer cells. Additionally, IL-17 notably enhanced the migration and invasion of cervical cancer cells . IL-17 promoted the progression of cervical cancer via the activation of JAK2/STAT3 and PI3K/Akt/NF-κB signaling. In conclusion, IL-17 was a key regulator during the progression of cervical cancer through the JAK2/STAT3 and PI3K/Akt/nuclear factor-κB signaling pathway, which may serve as a novel target for the treatment of cervical cancer.

The incidence of cervical cancer continues to rise in underdeveloped regions due to low human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination rates and inadequate screening systems. To achieve convenient, rapid, and accurate detection of HPV, we developed a three-wire lateral flow strip assay system based on dual-OR logic gates for rapid and simultaneous detection of HPV subtypes 16 and 18 in a single test. The system combines three-branch-catalytic hairpin assembly (TCHA)-mediated signal amplification with simple OR logic gate-based signal output to improve detection rates while enabling HPV 16/18 subtype identification.

Objective: The presence of the microcystic elongated and fragmented (MELF) pattern, distinguished by its microcystic, elongated and fragmented attributes, constitutes a common manifestation of myometrial invasion (MI) within endometrial carcinoma. However, the prognostic significance of this pattern has not been definitively established. Consequently, this research aimed to clarify the prognostic implications of the MELF pattern for individuals diagnosed with endometrial carcinoma.

The aim of the present study was to obtain new metal complexes of citrus pectin with cobalt ions based on potassium polygalacturonate and to prepare a new pharmacological composition (PC) PGKCo: PGNaCo (1:1) with antitumor activity based on potassium cobalt polygalacturonate (PGKCo) and sodium cobalt polygalacturonate (PGNaCo). The study of the effect of PGKCo, PGNaCo and PC on the cell viability of tumor cell lines of different genesis in vitro showed that the obtained compounds are soluble in water and exhibit selective cytotoxic activity against the tumor cell lines of human lung carcinoma A549, breast adenocarcinoma MCF-7 and cervical carcinoma M-HeLa, with no significant toxic effect on normal human cells. The possible mechanism of action of the investigated PC on M-HeLa cancer cells was investigated.

Background And Aims: Patients with head and neck cancer (HNC) are often malnourished with a low muscular mass at the outset of management. This is thought to be mainly due to poor nutritional intake. The aim of this study was to assess the correlation between tumor metabolic activity, inflammatory status and body composition in HNC patients.
