OBJECTIVE: Cervical cancer is a common tumor in gynecological malignancies. However, the patients are often in an advanced stage when diagnosed. It was found that forkhead box protein A1 (FOXA1) is abnormally expressed in various tumors. such as breast cancer, ovarian cancer, and is closely related to tumorigenesis. This study aimed to investigate the expression and the related roles of FOXA1 in cervical cancer.PATIENTS AND METHODS: Real Time-PCR (RT-PCR) and Western blot were used to analyze expression of FOXA1 in cervical cancer and adjacent tissue. The small-interfere RNA (siRNA) was adopted to down-regulate FOXA1 expression in HeLa cells. The effect of FOXA1 on apoptosis of HeLa cells was detected by using thiazolyl blue tetrazolium bromide (MTT) method. The apoptosis rate of HeLa cells was detected by using flow cytometry. The Western blot was selected to evaluate the epithelial mesenchymal transition (EMT) related protein, vimentin, E-cadherin, and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) changes.RESULTS: Compared with adjacent tissues, FOXA1 mRNA and protein expressions significantly increased in cervical cancer (p
