Abstract

The human papillomavirus (HPV) plays a central role in cervical carcinogenesis and its oncogene E7 is essential in this process. We showed here that E7 abrogated the G1 cell cycle checkpoint under hypoxia and analyzed key cell cycle related proteins for their potential role in this process. To further explore the mechanism by which E7 bypasses hypoxia-induced G1 arrest, we applied a proteomic approach and used mass spectrometry to search for proteins that are differentially expressed in E7 expressing cells under hypoxia. Among differentially expressed proteins identified, Cdc6 is a DNA replication initiation factor and exhibits oncogenic activities when overexpressed. We have recently demonstrated that Cdc6 was required for E7-induced re-replication. Significantly, here we showed that Cdc6 played a role in E7-mediated G1 checkpoint abrogation under hypoxic condition, and the function could possibly be independent from its role in DNA replication initiation. This study uncovered a new function of Cdc6 in regulating cell cycle progression and has important implications in HPV-associated cancers.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
