KIF7 and lung cancer: In conclusion, here we demonstrated for the first time that E6 but not E7 inhibits the antitumor activity of LKB1 in lung cancer cells by downregulating the expression of KIF7 and that the antitumor activity of LKB1 is determined by two factors; the phosphorylation of LKB1, and that p‐LKB1 must be located in the cytoplasm, both were indispensable.
