Differential requirement of the transcription factor HOXC13 for the stable maintenance of human papillomavirus genome among high-risk genotypes.

Abstract excerpt

The viral genome of the high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV), the causative agent of cervical cancer, is stably maintained as extrachromosomal episomes that establish persistent infection. We previously identified homeobox-transcription factor HOXC13 as an important host protein mediating the short-term retention of the HPV16 and HPV18 genomes in normal human immortalized keratinocytes (NIKS). Here, we used...
