Studies have shown that the overexpressed tumor suppressor PCBP1 favored the production of long isoforms of p73 in human cervical carcinoma cells, thereby inducing upregulated ratio of Bax/Bcl-2, the release of cytochrome c and the expression of caspase-3 (Chen et al., 2022). The gene discussed is PCBP1; the disease is cervical carcinoma.
