The upregulated genes found in the transcriptome analysis was verified using RT‐PCR on additional tissues (n = 10). Numbers indicate fold changes of DEGs upon NG exposure on cervical tissues compared to tissues exposed to media control.

All the genes confirmed to be upregulated were statistically significant. A non‐parametric paired t test was used for calculating the statistical significance.
