Inhibition of cervical cancer cell growth by human papillomavirus virus–like particles packaged with human papillomavirus oncoprotein short hairpin RNAs
28 Jan 2009
Abstract excerpt
Overexpression of human papillomavirus (HPV E6 and HPV E7) oncogenes in human cervical cells results in the development of cancer, and E6 and E7 proteins are therefore targets for preventing cervical cancer progression. Here, we describe the silencing of E6 and E7 expression in cervical carcinoma cells by RNA interference. In order to increase the efficacy of the RNA interference, HPV pseudovirions coding for a...
