IL-10 expression is regulated by HPV E2 protein in cervical cancer cells
25 Jan 2011
Abstract excerpt
It has been found that certain cytokines (IL-4, IL-10 and TGF-β1) are highly expressed locally in biopsies from patients with premalignant lesions and cervical cancer, and may induce a local immune-suppression state. In particular, IL-10 is highly expressed in tumor cells and its expression is directly proportional to the development of HPV-positive cervical cancer, suggesting an important role of HPV proteins in...
