Cervical Cancer Development: Implications of HPV16 E6E7-NFX1-123 Regulated Genes.

ABSTRACT: High-risk human papillomavirus (HR HPV) causes nearly all cervical cancers, half of which are due to HPV type 16 (HPV16). HPV16 oncoprotein E6 (16E6) binds to NFX1-123, and dysregulates gene expression, but their clinical implications are unknown. Additionally, HPV16 E7's role has not been studied in concert with NFX1-123 and 16E6. HR HPVs express both oncogenes, and transformation requires their expression, so we sought to investigate the effect of E7 on gene expression. This study's goal was to define gene expression profiles across cervical precancer and cancer stages, identify genes correlating with disease progression, assess patient survival, and validate findings in cell models. We analyzed NCBI GEO datasets containing transcriptomic data linked with cervical cancer stage and utiliz
