COMPOSITION FOR TREATING CANCER RELATED TO AN HPV INFECTION

摘要

The present invention relates to a chemosensitizer or radiosensitizer for the treatment of cancer caused by a human papillomavirus (hereinafter referred to as HPV) infection. More particularly, the present invention relates to a chemosensitizer or radiosensitizer for treating cancer caused by a HPV infection, which contains, as an active ingredient, small interfering RNA, short hairpin RNA (shRNA) or antisense oligonucleotide (ASO) selected from a group consisting of nucleotide sequence numbers 1 to 10. The siRNA of the present invention has superior effects in treating cervical cancer when compared to cases in which therapy using HPV-specific siRNA, chemotherapy, or radiotherapy is performed alone, and increases the sensitivity of cervical cancer cells to radiation or anticancer agents to thereby achieve maximized apoptotic effects.
