Cervical cancer (CC) is one of the most common female malignancies, and resveratrol is a polyphenol isolated from the skins of grapes, which has been reported to significantly alter the cellular physiology of tumor cells. However, little is known about the role of phospholipid scramblase 1 (PLSCR1) in pathogenesis of CC. Here, we demonstrated that resveratrol could significantly inhibit both the growth of HeLa cells and expression of PLSCR1. These results suggest that resveratrol-mediated cell growth inhibition can be regulated by PLSCR1.
Keywords: cervical cancer; phospholipid scramblase 1 (PLSCR1); resveratrol.
