Lymph node metastatic cervical cancer cells utilize FAO-derived acetyl Co-A to increase histone H3K27 acetylation at the promoters of stemness genes, as well as enhance the expression of pluripotency-related transcription factors (SOX2, OCT4, and NANOG) and the cervical cancer stem cell marker CD44 [109]. Here, SOX2 is linked to cervical carcinoma.
