Abstract
We have evaluated the impact of the CCAAT enhancer-binding protein (C/EBP) transcription factors on human papillomavirus type 11 (HPV11). C/EBPbeta is in nuclei of cultured foreskin keratinocytes and binds its consensus sequence in HPV11 DNA. We have used the novel approach of depleting the availability of C/EBPs in vivo using nuclease-resistant oligomers containing C/EBP DNA binding sites. In cultured foreskin keratinocytes containing replicating HPV11 DNA, levels of both HPV11 transcripts and HPV DNA increase after treatment with oligomers; containing the C/EBPbeta DNA binding motif. These results indicate that C/EBPbeta is a repressor for HPV11 in keratinocytes.Entities:
