In addition, it has been found that sevoflurane can increase the expression of migration-related proteins Ezrin and MMP2 and apoptosis-related protein BCL-2 in cervical cancer cells, but reduce the expression of pro-apoptotic protein BAX, thereby promoting the proliferation and migration of cervical cancer cells and inhibiting the apoptosis of cervical cancer cells, while it has no effect on the sensitivity of cervical cancer cells to cisplatin (Xue et al., 2019). Here, MMP2 is linked to cervical cancer.
