Human Papillomavirus Type 18 E6 and E7 Genes Integrate into Human Hepatoma Derived Cell Line Hep G2
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Human papillomaviruses have been linked causally to some human cancers such as cervical carcinoma, but there is very little research addressing the effect of HPV infection on human liver cells. We chose the human hepatoma derived cell line Hep G2 to investigate whether HPV gene integration took place in liver cells as well. METHODS We applied PCR to detect the possib...
متن کاملHuman papillomavirus type 16 E2 and E6/E7 variants.
OBJECTIVES Polymorphisms in human papillomavirus (HPV) type 16 have been shown to be related to geographic areas and are broadly classified as European (E), African (Af), Asian (As), or Asian-American (AA). Certain variants have been reported as being more likely to cause cervical disease; our objectives were to identify new HPV16 polymorphisms, to determine the linkage of the E2 and E6/E7 regi...
متن کاملReceptor-mediated endocytosis of tissue-type plasminogen activator by the human hepatoma cell line Hep G2.
Receptor-mediated endocytosis of tissue-type plasminogen activator (t-PA) was characterized with the human hepatoma cell line Hep G2. At 4 degrees C binding of 125I-t-PA to Hep G2 cells is rapid, specific, saturable, and reflective of a homogeneous population of 76,000 high-affinity surface sites per cell (Kd = 3.7 nM). The kinetics of 125I-t-PA binding to its receptor are characterized by rate...
متن کاملHuman papillomavirus: E6 and E7 oncogenes.
The recognition of a causal relationship between human papillomaviruses and cancer almost 30 years ago led to a rapid expansion of knowledge in the field, resulting in the description of the main mediators of HPV-induced carcinogenesis, the viral proteins E6 and E7. These oncoproteins show a remarkable pleiotropism in binding host-cell proteins, with the tumour suppressor genes p53 and pRb as t...
متن کاملHuman papillomavirus type 16 E6 and E7 cause polyploidy in human keratinocytes and up-regulation of G2-M-phase proteins.
Human papillomavirus type 16 proteins E6 and E7 have been shown to cause centrosome amplification and lagging chromosomes during mitosis. These abnormalities during mitosis can result in missegregation of the chromosomes, leading to chromosomal instability. Genomic instability is thought to be an essential part of the conversion of a normal cell to a cancer cell. We now show that E6 and E7 toge...
