Understanding the HPV integration and its progression to cervical cancer.
Infection, Genetics and Evolution 2018 July
Cervical cancer is one of the main causes of female cancer death worldwide, and human papilloma virus (HPV) its causal agent. To investigate viral oncogenesis several studies have focused on the effects of HPV oncoproteins E6 and E7 and the mechanisms by which these proteins stimulate the cellular transformation process. However, phenomena such as the physical state of the viral genome (episomal or integrated) and the effects of this integration on cell proliferation contribute new clues to understand how HPV infection causes carcinogenesis. New molecular technologies are currently facilitating these discoveries. This paper reviews the tumor development process initiated by HPV, recent findings on the process of viral integration into the host genome, new methods to detect HPV integration, and derived associated effects.
