RPS12 and cancer: Two studies that have been conducted on cervical cancer have shown that the decreased c-Myc expression due to quercetin can exert a cascade effect and lead to inhibition of the proliferation of cervical cancer cells, including inhibiting RPS19 and epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) signalling [28] and RPS12 [29], which causes a decrease in cancer cell proliferation.
