Abstract

Cervical cancer is the fourth leading cause of cancer mortality in women worldwide. High‑risk human papillomavirus infection is a major cause of cervical cancer. A previous study revealed the role of different oncogenes and tumor suppressors in cervical cancer initiation and progression. However, the complicated genetic network regulating cervical cancer remains largely unknown. The present study reported transcriptome sequencing analysis of three cervical squamous cell cancer tissues and paired normal cervical tissues. Transcriptomic analysis revealed that 2,519 genes were differently expressed between cervical cancer tissues and their corresponding normal tissues. Among these, 236 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were statistically significant, including many DEGs that were novel in cervical cancer, including gastrulation brain homeobox 2,5‑hydroxytryptamine receptor 1D and endothelin 3. These 236 significant DEGs were highly enriched in 28 functional gene ontology categories. The Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway enrichment analysis suggested involvement of these DEGs in multiple pathways. The present study provides a transcriptome landscape of cervical cancer in Chinese patients and an improved understanding of the genetic regulatory network in cervical cancer tumorigenesis.
