GNL3 and cervical squamous intraepithelial neoplasia: Ye et al. (2008), in an immunohistochemical study of the cervix of 235 patients, showed that the expression of Nanog, nucleostemin (NS) and musashi1 (Msi1) was significantly higher in cervical cancer compared to CIN, and in CIN compared to normal cervical epithelium; the results give evidence that Nanog, NS, and Msi1 may be involved in the carcinogenesis and progression of cervical cancer [58].
