Requirement of estrogen receptor alpha DNA-binding domain for HPV oncogene-induced cervical carcinogenesis in mice
22 Oct 2013
Abstract excerpt
Cervical cancer is caused by human papillomavirus (HPV) in collaboration with other non-viral factors. The uterine cervix is hormone responsive and female hormones have been implicated in the pathogenesis of the disease. HPV transgenic mice expressing HPV16 oncogenes E6 (K14E6) and/or E7 (K14E7) have been employed to study a mechanism of estrogen and estrogen receptor α (ERα) in cervical carcinogenesis. A chronic...
