Involvement of human papillomavirus type 20 in epidermodysplasia verruciformis skin carcinogenesis.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The involvement of human papillomavirus (HPV) in skin carcinogenesis in a patient with epidermodysplasia verruciformis was studied. This patient had disseminated pityriasis versicolor-like lesions, flat warts, and a malignant skin carcinoma. HPV types 3, 17, 20 (HPV-20), and 38 were isolated and molecularly cloned from the benign skin lesions of this patient. Of these HPVs, only HPV-20 was detected in the malignant skin carcinoma. Transcripts of HPV-20 were also expressed in the carcinoma. These findings suggest that HPV-20 was involved in the skin carcinogenesis in this patient.

Epidermodysplasia verruciformis (EV) is regarded as a model for cutaneous oncogenesis associated with specific human papillomaviruses (HPVs). Because genital HPV-associated carcinogenesis is a very long-lasting process requiring 20-30 years and epidemiological studies of this type for HPV-associated skin cancers are impossible in such a rare disease as EV, we observed for up to 20 years EV pati...

Papillomaviruses cause certain forms of human cancers, most notably carcinomas of the uterine cervix. In contrast to the well-established involvement of papillomavirus infection in the etiology of cervical carcinomas and in carcinomas of a rare hereditary condition, epidermodysplasia verruciformis, a causative role for cutaneous human papillomavirus types in the development of nonmelanoma skin ...

Cutaneous epidermodysplasia verruciformis (EV)-associated human papillomaviruses (HPVs) are found frequently in skin cancers especially in immunosuppressed people. They are also detectable in the normal skin and hair follicles of a proportion of individuals who have no immune defect. The available evidence to link HPVs causally with skin carcinogenesis is not conclusive, but includes epidemiolo...
