In other studies investigating the role of ferroptosis in cervical cancer, Wang et al. show that Cdc25A (cell division cycle 25) upregulates ErbB2 (epidermal growth factor receptor) level through dephosphorylation of PKM2, thereby inhibiting autophagy-dependent ferroptosis in CC cells (Wang et al., 2021c). This evidence concerns the gene ERBB2 and cervical carcinoma.
