Abstract Objective: To investigate the potential correlation between TFRC (transferrin receptor) gene expression and the development of cervical cancer. Methods: The expression of TFRC and TfR1 were detected in 96 cases of cervical cancer patients and 30 cases of normal controls with immunohistochemistry and reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) method. At the same time, TCGA database was used to analyze the data of patients with cervical cancer and the survival was analyzed with Kaplan-Meier method. Results: The expression of TfR1 was positive in 50 cases of cervical carcinoma, and the intensity of staining increased with the increase of cervical cancer patients. Compared with normal cervical tissues, cervical carcinoma in stage II and III was significantly enhanced (P<0.001). The expression of TfR1 was related to the FIGO stage, the degree of tumor differentiation and the presence of metastasis (P<0.05). However, it has nothing to do with the age of patients with cervical cancer (P>0.05). The gene expression of TFRC was observed in both cervical cancer cases and normal cervical tissues. There was correlation between TFRC expression and histological grades (P<0.001). The expression of TFRC in phase II and phase III was significantly higher than that in early stage of cervical cancer. According to Kaplan-Meier survival analysis, the level of TFRC gene expression was associated with overall survival rate of cervical cancer patients (P<0.001). The stronger expression of TFRC gene, the lower the overall survival rate of patients with cervical cancer. Conclusion: TFRC may be involved in the process of development of cervical cancer and related with the prognosis of patients with cervical cancer.
