In this study, we show that HPV-16 E5 induced anchorage-independent growth in immortalized human epidermal keratinocytes and that HPV-16 E5 in human keratinocytes had higher expression of c-jun and junB; also, we investigated the role of transcriptional initiation pathways in the expression elevation. In addition, Ras-dependent pathway, as well as PKC-dependent pathway, leads to HPV-16 E5-induced c-jun gene expression.
