HPV16 E5 expression induces switching from FGFR2b to FGFR2c and epithelial‐mesenchymal transition
2 Dec 2014
Abstract excerpt
The E5 oncoprotein of the human papillomavirus type 16 (HPV16 E5) deregulates epithelial homeostasis through the modulation of receptor tyrosine kinases and their signaling. Accordingly, the fibroblast growth factor receptor 2b (FGFR2b/KGFR), epithelial splicing transcript variant of the FGFR2, is down-modulated by the viral protein expression, leading to impairment of keratinocyte differentiation. Here, we...
