Abstract

Significance: Cervical cancer (CxCa) is the second most frequent cancer in women and the third leading cause of cancer death in women worldwide. Our global analysis of gene expression in normal, precancerous, and cancerous cervical tissue shows increased DNA replication/repair and cell proliferation followed by substantial metabolic shifts. We observed a dramatic, progressive decrease in estrogen receptor alpha (ERα) in tumor progression, and ranking specimens by estrogen-responsive gene expression correlated remarkably with histopathology. Whereas ERα expression shuts off in tumor epithelium, stromal fibroblasts in the microenvironment retain ERα, and the data indicate estrogen-related alteration of several candidate stroma–tumor signaling pathways. Our findings strongly support a role of stromal estrogen signaling in CxCa development with implications for CxCa management and control.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
