The E6 Oncoprotein from HPV16 Enhances the Canonical Wnt/β-Catenin Pathway in Skin Epidermis In Vivo
8 Dec 2011
Abstract excerpt
The contribution of the Wnt signaling pathway to human papilloma virus (HPV)-induced carcinogenesis is poorly understood. In high-grade dysplastic lesions that are caused by high-risk HPVs (HR-HPV), β-catenin is often located in the cell nucleus, which suggests that Wnt pathway may be involved in the development of HPV-related carcinomas. Most of the oncogenic potential of HR-HPVs resides on the PDZ-binding...
