FAM83A exerts tumor‑suppressive roles in cervical cancer by regulating integrins.

ABSTRACT: Family with sequence similarity 83 member A (FAM83A) has been recently observed to be upregulated in various types of cancer and hypothesized to be serve as an oncogene. The present study aimed to determine the functional roles and the underlying molecular mechanism of FAM83A in cervical cancer. The results demonstrated that although FAM83A expression was increased in cervical cancer compared with normal tissues, the expression levels of FAM83A were decreased in patients with advanced FIGO stage, deep stromal invasion, poor differentiation and/or lymph node metastasis and negatively associated with short survival time of patients with cervical cancer. FAM83A knockdown promoted cell proliferative, migratory and invasive abilities of CaSki and HeLa cells. A mouse xenograft model demonstrated
