To explore the role of hScrib in the pathogenesis of endometriosis.This was a retrospective study of 240 women in our hospital between January 2014 and January 2017. The expression of hScrib in endometrium (EM), endometriosis (EMs), and endometrial adenocarcinoma (EC) was investigated, and compared the differences among them. Serum levels, protein expressions, localizations, and correlations of hScrib and E-cadherin were determined.The levels of serum soluble hScrib and E-cadherin were significantly highest in EC, followed by EMs, and healthy women (P < .05). hScrib protein content was opposite result in 3 tissues (P < .05), and was negatively correlated with r-AFS stage in EMs. The location changed from membrane to cytoplasm. Co-localization of hScrib with E-cadherin was found at extensive cell-cell boundaries in EMs.hScrib and E-cadherin may be as new diagnostic markers of endometriosis. Low expression of hScrib leads to the loss of cell polarity and stability. Also, hScrib may induce EMT through regulating E-cadherin, might play an important role in pathogenesis of endometriosis.

Human papillomavirus is the most common viral infectious agent responsible for cancer development in humans. High-risk strains are known to induce cancer through the expression of the viral oncogenes and , yet we have only a partial understanding of the precise mechanisms of action of these viral proteins. Here we investigated the molecular mechanism through which the oncoprotein E6 alters the Hippo-YAP/TAZ pathway to trigger YAP/TAZ induction in cancer cells.

hScrib and hDlg belong to the PDZ family of proteins. Since the identification of these highly phylogenetically conserved scaffolds, an increasing amount of experiments has elucidated the roles of hScrib and hDlg in a variety of cell functions. Remarkably, their participation during the establishment of polarity in epithelial cells is well documented.

The ability of high-risk HPV E6 oncoproteins to target cellular proteins which harbor PDZ domains is believed to play an important role in the virus life cycle and to influence the ability of these viruses to bring about malignant transformation. Whilst many of these PDZ proteins are potential tumour suppressors, involved in the control of cell polarity and cell-contact, recent studies suggest that mislocalisation or overexpression might result in the emergence of oncogenic functions. This has been shown most clearly for two E6 targets, hDlg and hScrib.

Background: The high risk Human Papillomavirus (HPV) E6 oncoproteins play an essential role in the development of cervical malignancy. Important cellular targets of E6 include p53 and the PDZ domain containing substrates such as hScrib and Dlg. We recently showed that hScrib activity was mediated in part through recruitment of protein phosphatase 1γ (PP1γ).
