Human papillomavirus (HPV) can activate Toll-like receptor (TLR)/nitric oxide (NO) signaling pathways; however, whether the TLR/NO pathway is involved in cervical cancer caused by high-risk HPV (HR-HPV) remains unclear. In this study, 43 HR-HPV-positive patients with cervical cancer (CC group), 39 HR-HPV-positive patients with a healthy cervix (HR-HPV group), and 33 HR-HPV-negative controls were recruited. NO concentration in cervical canal and expression of inducible NO synthase (iNOS) in cervical tissues were detected. Expressions of key TLR/NO pathway genes (TLR3/4/7/8, NF-κB p65, and iNOS) in cervical epithelial cells were detected by quantitative reverse transcription PCR. Expressions of TLR4, NF-κB p65, and iNOS in CaSki, HeLa, and C33a cells were determined by Western blot. NO concentration in cervical canal of CC group was significantly higher than in other groups (P < 0.05). Positive rates of iNOS in cervical tissues were 72.1%, 28.2%, and 3.1% in the CC group, HR-HPV group, and controls, respectively (P < 0.05). Levels of TLR3, TLR4, TLR7, TLR8, NF-κB p65, and iNOS in cervical epithelial cells were higher in CC group than in other groups (P < 0.05). Both mRNA and protein levels of TLR4, NF-κB p65, and iNOS were higher in HPV-positive HeLa and CaSki cells than in HPV-negative C33a cells (P < 0.05). Together, these results suggest that TLR/NO signaling pathway may be involved in pathogenesis of cervical cancer caused by HR-HPV.

Background: Ovarian cancer (OV) is the most common gynecological cancer and is a major cause of cancer-related death among women worldwide. Immunotherapy has recently been of great interest, and it has been proven to be an effective treatment strategy. For this reason, the work here attempts to produce a prognostic immune-related gene pair (IRGP) signature to estimate OV patient survival. Methods: The Gene ExpressionOmnibus (GEO) and the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) databases provided the genetic expression profiles and clinical data of OV patients, whose samples were divided into training, validation, and testing sets. The InnateDB database and the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression model, were used to build an IRGP signature. The functional enrichment analysis was performed to investigate the biological activities of IRGPs. Then, the correlation between risk scores and clinicopathological parameters was further analyzed. Finally, we compared our signature and four existing signatures for OV. Results: We first identified a 17-IRGP signature significantly associated with survival based on LASSO regression model. The average area under the curve (AUC) values of the training, validation, and all
