Reducing human papillomavirus (HPV) oncogene E6 decreased both mRNA and protein expressions of c-Met.
The upregulation of c-Met by HPV E6 is mediated by p53.
High c-Met protein levels correlated with HPV positivity in oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma specimens.
High c-Met protein levels correlated with worse disease-free survival in HPV-positive oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma patients.
