Upregulation of a MicroRNA Signature Involving miR-17-5p, miR-26b-5p, miR-106a-5p, and miR-146a-5p During Cervical Epithelial Transformation.

ABSTRACT: Background: Cervical cancer remains the fourth most common malignancy among women worldwide. Despite vaccination and regular screening, new molecular biomarkers are needed for improved early detection and risk assessment. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play crucial roles in post-transcriptional regulation, and their dysregulation may contribute to cervical carcinogenesis. This study evaluated the expression of selected miRNAs in cervical swab samples and corresponding biopsies from women with various grades of cervical lesions and assessed their relationship with human papillomavirus (HPV) infection. Methods: A total of 72 cervical swab samples were included in this study, divided according to cytological severity: negative for intraepithelial lesion or malignancy (NILM, n = 15),
