Epigenetic Silencing of Interferon-κ in Human Papillomavirus Type 16–Positive Cells
4 Nov 2009
Abstract excerpt
We have investigated interferon-kappa (IFN-kappa) regulation in the context of human papillomavirus (HPV)-induced carcinogenesis using primary human foreskin keratinocytes (HFK), immortalized HFKs encoding individual oncoproteins of HPV16 (E6, E7, and E6/E7), and cervical carcinoma cells. Here, IFN-kappa was suppressed in the presence of E6, whereas its expression was not affected in HFKs or E7-immortalized HFKs....
