A Genomic Approach Reveals a Novel Mitotic Pathway in Papillomavirus Carcinogenesis
1 Feb 2004
Abstract excerpt
More than 90% of cervical carcinomas are associated with human papillomavirus (HPV) infection. The two viral oncogenes E6 and E7 play a major role in transforming the cells by disrupting p53- and pRb-dependent cell cycle checkpoints. A hallmark of HPV-associated cervical carcinoma is loss of the expression of the viral E2 protein, often by disruption of E2-encoding gene. We showed previously that reintroduction...
