Abstract:
Minichromosome maintenance protein 5 (MCM5) has been suggested overexpressed in cervical cancer, but the clinical value and biological function of MCM5 in cervical cancer is still unknown. In our study, MCM5 mRNA and protein were significantly overexpressed in cervical cancer tissues and cell lines compared with normal cervical tissues and cell lines, and were obviously increased in cervical adenocarcinoma tissues and cell lines in comparison to cervical squamous cell carcinoma tissues and cell lines. In cervical adenocarcinoma patients, we firstly found that MCM5 expression was closely correlated with clinical stage, lymph node metastasis, distant metastasis and histological grade. Univariate and multivariate analysis showed MCM5 high-expression was an independent unfavorable prognostic factor. In conclusion, MCM5 is associated with the malignant status and poor prognosis in cervical adenocarcinoma patients, and modulates cervical adenocarcinoma cells proliferation.

Tumor Progression
Colon cancer is one of the best-documented examples of tumor progression. Early mutation in the APC gene in colon cells causes a small growth on the colon wall called a polyp. With time, this polyp grows into a benign, pre-cancerous tumor. Further...
