Mechanistic studies in cervical cancer cells showed that inhibition of SOCE by pharmacological blockers or silencing of STIM1 or Orai1 reduced the phosphorylation of the cyclin-dependent kinase CDK2 and upregulated cyclin E expressions, resulting in the cell cycle arrest in G1/S transition accompanied with autophagy [31]. This evidence concerns the gene STIM1 and cervical cancer.
