Human Papillomavirus E2 Down-regulates the Human Telomerase Reverse Transcriptase Promoter
1 Aug 2002
Abstract excerpt
The transcriptional regulation of the human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT) gene is a critical step in transformation and differentiation. Human papillomavirus E2 protein inhibits cell growth in HPV-infected cells and triggers apoptosis in HeLa cells. Because E2 induces cell growth suppression and senescence, we hypothesize that the protein may modulate cellular gene expression related to these...
