Human papillomavirus (HPV) cancers are expected to be major global health concerns in the upcoming decades. The growth of HPV-positive cancer cells depends on the consistent expression of oncoprotein which has been poorly taken into account in the cellular communication. Among them, E6/E7 oncoproteins are attractive therapeutic targets as their inhibition rapidly leads to the onset of aging in HPV-positive cancer cells. This cellular response is associated with the regeneration of p53, pRb anti-proliferative proteins as well as the mTOR signaling pathway; hence, the identification of involved and application of E6/E7 inhibitors can lead to new therapeutic strategies. In the present review, we focused on the pathogenicity of E6/E7 Proteins of human papillomavirus and their roles associated with the cervical cancer.
