Beta Human Papillomavirus 8 E6 Induces Micronucleus Formation and Promotes Chromothripsis
21 Sept 2022
Abstract excerpt
Some beta genus human papillomaviruses (β-HPVs) may promote skin carcinogenesis by inducing mutations in the host genome. Supporting this, the E6 protein from β-HPV8 (8 E6) promotes skin cancer in mice with or without UV exposure. Many mechanisms by which 8 E6 increases mutations caused by UV have been elucidated, but less is known about how 8 E6 induces mutations without UV. We address that knowledge gap by...
