To further confirm the relationship between HOXA5 and the proteins in Wnt/β-catenin pathway and p53 in cervical cancer specimens, the expression of HOXA5, β-catenin, cyclinD1, p53, and p21 was detected by IHC in 15 cervical cancer specimens (Fig. 8a). This evidence concerns the gene CDKN1A and cervical carcinoma.
