26 Oct 2010

The HPV-16 early proteins E6 and E7 are considered to function as oncoproteins in cervical cancer. DNA methyltransferase 1 (DNMT1) is one of the enzymes involved in epigenetic silencing of tumor suppressor genes. In the present study, the functional role and regulation of DNMT1 in HPV-16 E6 associated cervical cancer development were examined. Knockdown of E6 in HPV-16 positive human cervical carcinoma SiHa and...
