Pathogenesis of human papillomavirus-associated mucosal disease

Abstract: Keywords: human papillomavirus; mucosa; oncogene; E6/E7; epigenetics; integration; squamous cell carcinoma Human papillomavirus infection and global diseaseHuman papillomavirus (HPV) infection poses a significant risk to morbidity and mortality worldwide, being associated with ∼4.8% of all human cancers [1]. Papillomaviruses are a family of small, non-enveloped viruses with a double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) genome of, in the case of HPV, approximately 7.9 kilobases (kb) [2]. To date, > 180 individual types of HPV… Show more

“…40,41 We anticipate that the association of β- and γ-HPVs with HNSCC might be more similar to the elusive role these types play in skin cancer. 42,43 Howley and Pfister 43 report that β-E6 and β-E7 proteins can influence DNA damage and apoptotic processes and inactivate pRB proteins, respectively.…”

“…HPV virions can be released as a result of degeneration of the infected exfoliated host cells. In productive infection, HPV DNA can therefore be measured inside as well as outside host cells (20). This has important implications for laboratory testing.…”

“…Initial infection is within basal epithelial cells where the episomal viral genome is maintained at around 50 to 100 nuclear copies (3). Differentiation of infected epithelial cells leads to activation of early and then late gene expression (4).…”
