Apoptosis pathway in HPV-infected cells

Molecular classification
Signaling pathway, Apoptotic pathway, Viral oncoprotein interaction network
01

Overview

The apoptosis pathway in HPV-infected cells refers to the network of molecular mechanisms by which programmed cell death (apoptosis) is regulated or subverted during infection with human papillomavirus (HPV). High-risk HPVs inhibit both intrinsic and extrinsic apoptotic pathways, allowing infected cells to survive, proliferate, and potentially undergo malignant transformation. Key viral proteins involved include E5, E6, and E7, which target host proteins like p53, Bak/Bax, FADD, and caspases.
