To analyze this association, we first generated expression profiles of REST by immunostaining tissues corresponding to cervical intraepithelial neoplasia 1 (CIN 1, n = 9), cervical intraepithelial neoplasia 2/3 (CIN 2/3, n = 7), and cervical cancer (CC, n = 11), as well as HeLa and SiHa cell lines. The gene discussed is REST; the disease is cervical carcinoma.
