description Abstract Cervical cancer is one of the most common gynecologic malignancies worldwide, necessitating the identification of novel biomarkers and therapeutic targets. This study aimed to investigate the significance of MKRN1 in cervical cancer and explore its potential as a diagnostic marker and therapeutic target. The results indicated that MKRN1 expression was up-regulated in cervical cancer tissues and correlated with advanced tumor stage, higher grade, and poor patient survival. Functional studies demonstrated that targeting MKRN1 effectively inhibited cell proliferation, migration, and invasion, highlighting its critical role in tumor progression and metastasis. Moreover, the knockdown of MKRN1 resulted in altered expression patterns of six transcription factor-encoding genes, revealing its involvement in gene regulation. Co-expression network analysis unveiled complex regulatory mechanisms underlying the effects of MKRN1 knockdown on gene expression. Furthermore, the results suggested that MKRN1 might serve as a diagnostic marker for personalized treatment strategies and a therapeutic target to inhibit tumor growth, metastasis, and overcome drug resistance. The development of MKRN1-targeted interventions might hold promise for advancing personalized medicine approaches in cervical cancer treatment. Further research is warranted to validate these findings, elucidate underlying mechanisms, and translate these insights into improved management and outcomes for cervical cancer patients.
