Centrosomes, Genomic Instability, and Cervical Carcinogenesis
1 Jan 2003
Abstract excerpt
High-risk human papillomavirus (HPV)-associated carcinogenesis of the uterine cervix is a particularly useful model to study basic mechanisms of genomic instability in cancer. Cervical carcinogenesis is associated with the expression of two high-risk HPV-encoded oncoproteins, E6 and E7. Aneuploidy, the most frequent form of genomic instability in human carcinomas, develops as early as in nonmalignant cervical...
