Exploring Immune-Related Gene Profiling and Infiltration of Immune Cells in Cervical Squamous Cell Carcinoma and Endocervical Adenocarcinoma

Cervical cancer is a widespread malignancy among women, leading to a substantial global health impact. Despite extensive research, our understanding of the basic molecules and pathogenic processes of cervical squamous cell carcinoma is still insufficient. This investigation aims to uncover immune-related genes linked to CESC and delineate their functions. Leveraging data from the GEO and ImmPort databases, a total of 22 immune-related genes were identified. Multiple tools, including DAVID, the human protein atlas, STRING, GeneMANIA, and TCGA, were employed to delve into the expression and roles of these immune genes in CESC, alongside their connections to the disease's pathological features. Through RT-PCR, the study confirmed notable disparities in
