Human Oncoviruses and p53 Tumor Suppressor Pathway Deregulation at the Origin of Human Cancers

Abstract excerpt

Viral oncogenesis is a multistep process largely depending on the complex interplay between viruses and host factors. The oncoviruses are capable of subverting the cell signaling machinery and metabolic pathways and exploit them for infection, replication, and persistence. Several viral oncoproteins are able to functionally inactivate the tumor suppressor p53, causing deregulated expression of many genes...
