High risk human papillomavirus (HPV) is the main causative factor of cervical cancer. In addition, estrogen and its receptors are also involved in the development of carcinogenesis. The canonical estrogen receptor ERα is frequently deficient while its variant ERα-36 is highly expressed in cervical cancer cells. The biological significance for this receptor transition from ERα to ERα-36 remains unclear. In the...
