Noticeably, eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E binding protein 1 (4EBP1) and EPH receptor A2 (EPHA2), which play important role in progression of cervical cancer [22, 23], particularly in regulating migration and invasion [24, 25], were hyperphosphorylated (Fig. 5B). The gene discussed is EPHA2; the disease is cervical carcinoma.
