Consistent with it, this study showed that DHT induced the expression of squamous differentiation‐related genes in AR‐transfected W12 cells via an ELF3‐dependent pathway, indicating that ELF3 is a common molecular target for FOXP4‐ and androgen‐dependent differentiation therapy of CIN. This evidence concerns the gene ELF3 and cervical squamous intraepithelial neoplasia.
