Presence of Human Papillomavirus -16 and -18 Among Women with Breast Cancer in Isfahan Province
Background: Various studies proposed virus infection is to be a possible cause of human breast cancer. However, the data argue the association between virus and cancer are inconsistent. This study was conducted to detect whether HPV-DNA is present in tissue samples of breast cancer in Isfahan province. Materials and Methods: Paraffin embedded formalin fixed specimens were prepared from 40 brea...
متن کاملHuman papillomavirus E6E7-mediated adenovirus cell killing: selectivity of mutant adenovirus replication in organotypic cultures of human keratinocytes.
Replication-competent adenoviruses are being investigated as potential anticancer agents. Exclusive virus replication in cancer cells has been proposed as a safety trait to be considered in the design of oncolytic adenoviruses. From this perspective, we have investigated several adenovirus mutants for their potential to conditionally replicate and promote the killing of cells expressing human p...
متن کاملTwo AP1 sites binding JunB are essential for human papillomavirus type 18 transcription in keratinocytes.
The activity and epithelial tropism of the human papillomavirus type 18 P105 early promoter, which directs the synthesis of the E6 and E7 transforming genes, are controlled by cis elements included in the viral long control region. To identify potential cellular regulators of this promoter, we mutagenized one or both of the 5'-TGACTAA-3' cis elements capable of interacting with the AP1 transcri...
متن کاملA novel mutant of human papillomavirus type 18 E6E7 fusion gene and its transforming activity.
BACKGROUND Persistent human papillomavirus (HPV) infection, especially with high-risk types such as HPV16 and HPV18, has been identified as the primary cause of cervical cancer. E6 and E7 are the major onco-proteins of high-risk HPVs, which are consistently expressed in HPV infected tissues but absent in normal tissues and represent ideal therapeutic targets for immunotherapy of cervical cancer...
متن کاملConstruction and evaluation of human papillomavirus genotype 18 pseudovirions
Introduction: Cervical cancer is the second most common cancer in women worldwide and the role of human papillomavirus (HPV) has been proved in its etiology. The currentley available L1-capsid-protein-based vaccine is highly immunogenic and very high titers of serum antibodies can be obtained by its injection, but unfortunately it is restricted to only a few HPV genotypes and is relatively expe...
