Human Papillomavirus Type 16 E6-enhanced Susceptibility of L929 Cells to Tumor Necrosis Factor α Correlates with Increased Accumulation of Reactive Oxygen Species
1 Aug 1999
Abstract excerpt
Human papillomavirus type 16 (HPV-16) E6 has been shown to prevent or enhance apoptosis depending on the stimulus and cell type. Here we present evidence that HPV-16 E6 sensitized murine fibrosarcoma L929 cells to tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF)-induced cytolysis. The E6-enhanced cytolysis correlated with a precedent increase in reactive oxygen species (ROS) level and antioxidant treatment could completely...
