Association of combined p73 and p53 genetic variants with tumor HPV16-positive oropharyngeal cancer.

Wang, Zhongqiu; Sturgis, Erich M; Guo, Wei; Song, Xicheng; Zhang, Fenghua; Xu, Li; Wei, Qingyi; ... (8 authors) (PloS one, 2012-01)

p53 and p73 interact with human papillomavirus (HPV) E6 and E7 oncoproteins. The interplay between p53 and p73 and HPV16 may lead to deregulation of cell cycle and apoptosis, through which inflammation/immune responses control ...

Genetic variants of p27 and p21 as predictors for risk of second primary malignancy in patients with index squamous cell carcinoma of head and neck.

Wang, Zhongqiu; Sturgis, Erich M; Zhang, Fenghua; Lei, Dapeng; Liu, Zhensheng; Xu, Li; Song, Xicheng; ... (9 authors) (Molecular cancer, 2012-03-26)

Cell cycle deregulation is common in human cancer, and alterations of p27 and p21, two critical cell cycle regulators, have been implicated in the development of many human malignancies. Therefore, we hypothesize that p27 ...

MicroRNA variants increase the risk of HPV-associated squamous cell carcinoma of the oropharynx in never smokers.

Song, Xicheng; Sturgis, Erich M; Liu, Jun; Jin, Lei; Wang, Zhongqiu; Zhang, Caiyun; Wei, Qingyi; ... (8 authors) (PloS one, 2013-01)

Both microRNAs and human papillomavirus (HPV) infection play an important role in the development and progression of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). In addition, microRNAs affect all facets of the immune/inflammation ...
