In this study, to determine the role of LTBP1 in cervical cancer, we examined the relative expression of LTBP1 in 10 pairs of cervical carcinoma and paracancerous tissues, and it was found to be substantially lower in cervical carcinoma tissues (1.23±0.34) compared with that in paracancerous tissues (4.32±2.17) (Figure 1A). The gene discussed is LTBP1; the disease is cervical carcinoma.
