We identified the lnc-IL17RA-11 transcription factor ER-alpha as the most likely HPV infection associated factor promoting increased lnc-IL17RA-11 levels.
The aim of this study was to investigate the expression of estrogen receptor α (ERα) and progesterone receptor B (PRB) in the stroma and carcinoma tissues of cervical cancer and their relationship to clinical characteristics and the status of human papillomavirus (HPV) infection.
Most of the samples with HPV infection without atypia showed a shift in estrogen receptor expression since this protein appeared mainly in the intermediate and superficial cell layers.
