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

Wei, Qingyi; Wang, Zhongqiu; Sturgis, Erich M; Guo, Wei; Song, Xicheng; Zhang, Fenghua; Xu, Li; ... (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.

Liu, Zhensheng; Wei, Qingyi; Wang, Zhongqiu; Sturgis, Erich M; Zhang, Fenghua; Lei, Dapeng; Xu, Li; ... (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 ...

Genetic variants of NOXA and MCL1 modify the risk of HPV16-associated squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck.

Liu, Zhensheng; Wei, Qingyi; Zhou, Ziyuan; Sturgis, Erich M; Wang, Li-E; Li, Guojun (BMC cancer, 2012-05)

The cooperation between phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate induced protein 1 (NOXA) and myeloid cell leukemia 1 (MCL1) is critical in the intrinsic apoptotic pathway. Human papillomavirus 16 (HPV16), by inducing p53 and pRb-E2F ...

Genetic variation in MDM2 and p14ARF and susceptibility to salivary gland carcinoma.

Wei, Qingyi; Jin, Lei; Xu, Li; Song, Xicheng; Sturgis, Erich M; Li, Guojun (PloS one, 2012-01)

The p14(ARF)/MDM2/p53 pathway plays an important role in modulation of DNA damage and oxidative stress responses. The aim of this study was to determine whether genetic variants in MDM2 and p14(ARF) are associated with risk ...
