However, in stark contrast to the observations in cervical cancer cells, INTS13 silencing in priCEpi-1 and priCEpi-2 cells failed to induce apoptosis, as evidenced by unchanged TUNEL staining (Fig. 5P) and the absence of a statistically significant increase in cell death (Fig. 5Q). The gene discussed is INTS13; the disease is cervical carcinoma.
