Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin(NGAL) is a novel member of the lipocalin family and may be a new human oncogene, but the regulation mechanism of NGAL was not clear in the cancer.
Squamous cell cancers arise from squamous cells that undergo genetic mutations that either activate proto-oncogenes or inactivate tumor suppressor genes.
It usually involves several genetic mutations in endometrial cells, including of PTEN, a tumor suppressor gene; PIK3CA, an oncogene; and ARID1A, a gene regulating chromatin structure.
