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 ...

Association of tumor necrosis factor-alpha promoter variants with risk of HPV-associated oral squamous cell carcinoma.

Wei, Qingyi; Jin, Lei; Sturgis, Erich M; Zhang, Yang; Huang, Zhigang; Song, Xicheng; Li, Chao; ... (8 authors) (Molecular cancer, 2013-07-19)

Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) plays an important role in inflammation, immunity, and defense against infection and clearance of human papillomavirus (HPV). Thus, genetic variants may modulate individual susceptibility ...
