Resveratrol inhibits the progression of cervical cancer by suppressing the transcription and expression of HPV E6 and E7 genes.

ABSTRACT: Resveratrol is a representative polyphenol of diet‑derived putative cancer chemopreventive agents, which have attracted increasing interest in the cancer chemoprevention community. The inhibition of the action of human papillomavirus (HPV) E6 and E7 has been considered a key approach for cervical cancer therapy. Resveratrol has been shown to induce the apoptosis, and reduce both the viability and mitotic index of a number of cancer cell lines, including human cervical cancer cells. In the present study, it was confirmed that resveratrol inhibited the HPV E6 mRNA, HPV E6 protein and phosphorylated retinoblastoma protein (p‑pRb1) levels, and increased the p53 protein levels in HeLa and Ca Ski cells, as well as in subcutaneous tumor tissue grown from HeLa cells. High‑risk HPV uses a bicistron
