IER3 is a crucial mediator of TAp73β-induced apoptosis in cervical cancer and confers etoposide sensitivity

Abstract excerpt

Infection with high-risk human papillomaviruses (HPVs) causes cervical cancer. E6 oncoprotein, an HPV gene product, inactivates the major gatekeeper p53. In contrast, its isoform, TAp73β, has become increasingly important, as it is resistant to E6. However, the intracellular signaling mechanisms that account for TAp73β tumor suppressor activity in cervix are poorly understood. Here, we identified that IER3 is a...
