E2F2 and cervical carcinoma: We discovered that E2F2 and E2F7 knockdown suppressed proliferation and migration abilities, promoted cell cycle arrest, and inhibited stemness of both HeLa and C-33 A cells in vitro, suggesting that E2F2 and E2F7 may function as oncogenes, leading to tumor progression or metastasis of HPV-positive and HPV-negative cervical cancer.
