CRISPR/Cas9-based inactivation of human papillomavirus oncogenes E6 or E7 induces senescence in cervical cancer cells
14 Jul 2021
Abstract excerpt
Human papillomaviruses (HPVs) such as HPV16 and HPV18 can cause cancers of the cervix, anogenital and oropharyngeal sites. Continuous expression of the HPV oncoproteins E6 and E7 are essential for transformation and maintenance of cancer cells. Therefore, therapeutic targeting of E6 or E7 genes can potentially treat HPV-related cancers. Here we report that CRISPR/Cas9-based knockout of E6 or E7 can trigger...
