Human papillomavirus-16 E6 activates the pentose phosphate pathway to promote cervical cancer cell proliferation by inhibiting G6PD lactylation
1 Mar 2024
Abstract excerpt
High-risk human papillomaviruses (HPVs) are the causative agents of cervical cancer. Here, we report that HPV16 E6E7 promotes cervical cancer cell proliferation by activating the pentose phosphate pathway (PPP). We found that HPV16 E6 activates the PPP primarily by increasing glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) enzyme activity. Mechanistically, HPV16 E6 promoted G6PD dimer formation by inhibiting its...
