LOXL2 Expression Status Is Correlated With Molecular Characterizations of Cervical Carcinoma and Associated With Poor Cancer Survival via Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition (EMT) Phenotype.

ABSTRACT: As molecular analyses based on high-throughput sequencing have developed, the molecular classification of cancer has facilitated clinical work. The aim of the present study was to identify a new potential therapeutic target for cervical carcinoma by molecular analyses. We firstly tested the LOXL2 expression pattern in 50 paired normal cervix and cervical carcinoma via qPCR and immunohistochemistry, and the LOXL2 expression pattern was found to be in accordance with public datasets from Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO). Then, we comprehensively rewired the 176 cervical carcinoma samples from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), subsequently clustered the samples into two groups corresponding to LOXL2 expression to determined the associations between LOXL2 expression status and molecular characteriz
