Figure Legend Snippet: MMP-9 , a factor that promotes Vasculogenic mimicry, is highly expressed in CC and is associated with poor prognosis. (A) CC database of TCGA was used to analyze key factors associated with VM. (B) Association of Sox2 expression with overall survival in CC (log-rank test). (C) Association of MMP-9 expression with overall survival in CC (log-rank test). (D) Panoramic scans after immunohistochemical detection of MMP-9 and H&E staining in samples from cancerous and paracancerous tissues from subjects with CC. Scale bar, 50 µm. Original magnification, ×20. (E) Protein levels of MMP-9 in 20 paired samples, with the MMP-9 level in CC tissue expressed compared with that in the paired normal tissue. (F) Expression levels of MMP-9 mRNA in 44 paired CC and paracancerous tissues, with MMP-9 expression in CC tissue expressed compared with that in the paired normal tissue. (G) Comparison of the average expression levels of MMP-9 mRNA in CC tissues compared with paracancerous tissues. (H) HeLa and SiHa cells were incubated under hypoxia (0.1% O 2 ) and proteins collected at 24, 48 and 72 h for western blotting of ALDH1, EPHA2, MMP-9 and GAPDH. ImageJ was used to semi-quantify western blotting signals from HeLa (I) and SiHa (J) cells. GAPDH served as an internal reference. *P<0.05, **P<0.01 and ***P<0.001.

Figure Legend Snippet: NSUN2 increases the stability of MMP-9 mRNA. (A) A positive correlation was observed between NSUN2 and MMP-9 mRNA expression levels in 44 pairs of samples from subjects with CC. Enrichment of the m 5 C modification of MMP-9 mRNA in HeLa (B) and SiHa (C) Cells were measured with anti-m 5 C methylated-RNA IP assays. Interaction of NSUN2 with MMP-9 mRNA in (D) HeLa and (E) SiHa cells was measured with anti- NSUN2 RNA IP assays. Stability of MMP-9 mRNA after interference with and overexpression of NSUN2 was measured in (F) HeLa and (G) SiHa cells. (H) A model illustrating the proposed mechanism by which NSUN2-mediated stabilization of MMP-9 mRNA promotes Vasculogenic mimicry in CC.
