Three major oncoproteins (E5, E6 and E7) affect multiple potential targets involved in the progression of cervical cancer. E5 upregulates EGFR, thereby regulating the expression of COX2 and VEGF; E6 also affects the EGFR pathway by upregulating the expression of JUK1/2 and c-Jun/AP1. In addition, E6 upregulates OCT4/E6AP, and E6 and E7 upregulate HIF1A-AS2, TBX3, IL-2R and miR-18a/34a. OCT4/E6AP and HIF1A-AS2 both affect p53. In addition, E6 and E7 inhibit PIPOR2 and miR-424, whereas E7 upregulates the expression of PKM2, ultimately regulating the progression of cervical cancer.
