Figure Lengend Snippet: A Box plot comparing SPIN4 expression levels between adjacent healthy and tumor tissues in cervical cancer patients from the TCGA database. p = 0.027 by the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. B Kaplan–Meier curve illustrating the overall survival of cervical cancer patients stratified by high (blue line) or Low (red line) SPIN4 expression. Using C GO enrichment analysis and D KEGG methods, we evaluated the functional categories and potential signaling pathways enriched by SPIN4-related DEGs. E SiHa cells were transfected with siR-SPIN4 or siR-NC, and the transfection efficiency was examined by WB assay (n = 3; student’s t -test; ** p < 0.01). F Proliferation ability of SiHa cells transfected with pcDNA3.1+siR-NC, APC2+siR-NC, or APC2+siR-SPIN4 was assessed by MTT assay at 0, 24, 48, and 72 h, respectively ( n = 3; ANOVA; ** p < 0.01). G The transwell assay evaluated the impact of APC2 overexpression combined with SPIN4 silencing on SiHa cell migration and invasion, contrasted with control cells. The image was magnified 100× (Scale bar: 100 μm; n = 3; ANOVA; ** p < 0.01, * p < 0.05). H S p here-forming assay showing the effects of SPIN4 silencing on sphere formation in SiHa cells with APC2 overexpression (Scale bar: 50 μm; n = 3; ANOVA; ** p < 0.01). I The protein levels of OCT4, SOX2, Nanog, and β-catenin expressed in SiHa cells that overexpressed APC2 and simultaneously silenced SPIN4 were tested by WB assays ( n = 3; ANOVA; ** p < 0.01, * p < 0.05).
