Moreover, this study suggested that blocking the nuclear translocation of β-catenin and further reducing SOX2 and c-Myc expression, which contribute to the trans-suppression of EPCAM expression by SNAI2, are responsible for attenuation of the stem-like phenotype in cervical cancer cells mediated by SNAI2 (Figure 6). This evidence concerns the gene SOX2 and cervical carcinoma.
