Abstract Human papillomaviruses (HPV) are causative agents in ano-genital and oral cancers; HPV16 is the most prevalent type detected human cancers. The E6 protein targets p53 for proteasomal degradation to facilitate proliferation of infected cell. However, immortalized cells predominantly spliced (E6*) unable degrade p53. Here we demonstrate that foreskin keratinocytes by (HFK+HPV16), positive oropharyngeal cancers, retain significant expression In addition, levels can be increased HPV16+ head neck cancer cell lines following treatment with cisplatin. Introduction full-length into HFK+HPV16 resulted attenuation cellular growth (in hTERT HFK, promoted enhanced proliferation).

Human papillomavirus (HPV) is the causative driver of cervical cancer and a contributing risk factor head neck several anogenital cancers. HPV’s ability to induce genome instability contributes its oncogenicity. HPV genes can in ways, including modulating cell cycle favour proliferation, interacting with DNA damage repair pathways bring high-fidelity viral episomes away from host genome, inducing DNA-damaging oxidative stress, altering length telomeres. In addition, presence chronic infection lead immune responses that also cause infected tissue. The become integrated into during HPV-induced tumorigenesis. Viral integration requires double-stranded breaks on DNA; therefore, regions around event are prone structural alterations themselves targets instability. this review, we present mechanisms by which HPV-dependent -independent initiated maintained HPV-driven cancers, both across at integration.
