Human papillomaviruses (HPVs) could be important risk factors for breast carcinogenesis and metastasis, as roughly 50% of breast cancers are positive for high-risk HPVs. To determine the role of high-risk HPVs in human breast carcinogenesis and metastasis, we examined the effect of E6/E7 of HPV type 16 in two non-invasive breast cancer cell lines, MCF7 and BT20. We report that E6/E7 of HPV type 16 induces cell...
