12 Apr 2021
Abstract excerpt
Oncogenic types of human papillomaviruses (HPVs) are major human carcinogens. The viral E6/E7 oncogenes maintain the malignant growth of HPV-positive cancer cells. Targeted E6/E7 inhibition results in efficient induction of cellular senescence, which could be exploited for therapeutic purposes. Here we show that viral E6/E7 expression is strongly downregulated by Metformin in HPV-positive cervical cancer and head...
