چکیده

Human papillomaviruses (HPV) are the aetiological agents of several types of anogenital tumours, particularly cervical carcinoma. Recent evidence also suggests a role for HPV in the development of squamous cell carcinomas of the skin, especially in immunocompromised individuals. HPV infection also produces a number of non-malignant, but nonetheless cosmetically unpleasant lesions. Therefore, any effective therapeutic treatment for HPV-induced diseases would be extremely beneficial both on humanitarian grounds as well as being economically very attractive. In this review, we will discuss the functions of the viral proteins that appear to be the most appropriate for the development of therapeutics aimed at the treatment of viral infection and virus-induced cancers.

Preventive and Therapeutic Vaccines against Human Papillomaviruses Associated Cervical Cancers

Cervical cancer is, globally known to be, one of the most common cancers among women especially indeveloping countries. More than 90% of cervical cancers are associated with high-risk humanpapillomaviruses (HPVs) particularly HPV types 16 and 18. Two major strategies have been developed forprevention and treatment of cervical cancer and other HPV-associated malignancies; the first one is based ...

HPV and Therapeutic Vaccines: Where are We in 2010?

The discovery of human papillomavirus (HPV) as a necessary etiological factor for cervical cancer has spurred the development of preventive and therapeutic HPV vaccines for the control of HPV-associated malignancies including cervical, vulvar, vaginal, and a subset of head and neck cancers. The commercial preventive HPV vaccines, Gardasil and Cervarix, use HPV virus-like particles to generate n...

بررسی پاسخ تکثیری لنفوسیت‌های طحالی حاصل از تزریق پلاسمید کد کننده E7-HPV16 در مدل موش توموری پاپیلوماویروس

Background & Objective: Human papillomavirus (HPV) oncoproteins, including E6 and E7 are constitutively expressed in cervical cancer cells. These proteins are ideal targets to be used for developing therapeutic vaccines against existing HPV-associated carcinomas. The aim of this study was to measure the proliferation response rate of splenic lymphocytes derived from E7-HPV16 encoding plasmid in...

Protein Drug Targets of Lavandula angustifolia on treatment of Rat Alzheimer᾽s Disease

Different treatment strategies of Alzheimer's disease (AD) are being studied for treating or slowing the progression of AD. Many pharmaceutically important regulation systems operate through proteins as drug targets. Here, we investigate the drug target proteins in beta-amyloid (Aβ) injected rat hippocampus treated with Lavandula angustifolia (LA) by proteomics techniques. The reported study sh...
