## Abstract Human papillomavirus (HPV) infects the squamous epithelial cells of oral cavity and cervix leading to formation of warts that develops into the cancer. Human papillomavirus (HPV)β16 and 18 encode E6 oncoprotein, which binds to and induces degradation of the tumour suppressor protein p53
## Abstract Myeloperoxidase (MPO), an enzyme derived from neutrophils, metabolically activates a wide range of carcinogens, whereas glutathione __S__βtransferase M1 (GSTM1) detoxifies various electrophilic metabolites. A β463GβA polymorphism in the promoter region of the __MPO__ gene diminishes the
p21 WAF1/Cip1 is a recently identified gene involved in cell cycle regulation through cyclin-CDK-complex inhibition. The expression of this gene in several cell lines seems to be induced by wild-type, but not mutant, p53. p21 WAF1/Cip1 expression has been studied at both mRNA and protein levels in a
