Cervical cancer is a prevalent gynecologic malignancy characterized by high rates of invasion and metastasis. Integrin alpha 5 (ITGA5), a member of the integrin family, has been implicated in tumor progression
however, its regulatory role in cervical cancer remains poorly defined. Bioinformatic analyses revealed elevated ITGA5 expression in cervical cancer, which was further validated in patient tissues by immunohistochemistry (IHC). ITGA5 was either silenced or overexpressed in cervical cancer cell lines, and its effects on proliferation, invasion, and migration were assessed using CCK-8, Transwell, and wound healing assays. The
