However, this experiment also found significantly elevated levels of oleic acid in cervical cancer tissues, suggesting that high levels of oleic acid may promote cervical carcinogenesis through the activation of PKC (Engelbrecht et al., 1998), which is contrary to the results of our experiments and may be because tissue and plasma FFA levels in patients with cervical cancer are not exactly equivalent. Here, PRRT2 is linked to cervical carcinoma.
