HPV16 E6/E7 promote the translocation and glucose uptake of GLUT1 by PI3K/AKT pathway relieving miR-451 inhibitory effect on CAB39 in lung cancer cells.

Background: HPV16 E6/E7 proteins are the main oncogenes and only long-term persistent infection causes lung cancer. Our previous studies have shown that HPV16 E6/E7 protein up-regulates the expression of GLUT1 in lung cancer cells. However, whether E6 and E7 protein can promote the glucose uptake of GLUT1 and its molecular mechanism are unclear.
