We thus investigated the gene expression levels in organoids and TCGA cervical cancer samples, measuring the proposed SCJ markers19 as well as KRT5. The expression of these markers was significantly higher in endocervical organoids and ADC than in ectocervical organoids and SCC; the opposite trend was shown for KRT5 (Fig. 7c,d). This evidence concerns the gene KRT5 and cervical carcinoma.
