Abstract:Background: Secretory Leukocyte Peptidase Inhibitor (SLPI) functions in cancer progression, cellular invasion, metastasis, immune evasion, and chemoresistance. Our previous studies showed increased SLPI with overexpressed NFX1-123 and co-expressed high-risk (HR) human papillomavirus type 16 E6 oncogene (16E6) in primary keratinocytes (HFKs) as well as high SPLI levels in cervical cancers. The HR viral oncogenes E6 and E7 partner with host cell proteins to regulate cell cycle regulation and immortalization path… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
