[Molecular basis of oncogenesis induced by human papilloma viruses]
Abstract:
Human papilloma viruses (HPV) of high carcinogenesis risk play important role in development of cancer of oropharyngeal and anogenital areas. Possible malignant transformation of cells, infected by HPV, is due to the expression of three proteins, E6, E7 and E5. These proteins mostly influence on mechanisms that regulate cellular cycle, proliferation and apoptosis inducing and maintaining oncogenesis. This review briefly presents data on malignant tumors induced by HPV as well as biology of these viruses and their vital cycle. Special accent is made on description of current trends in molecular basis of oncogenesis, induced by HPV, which understanding is necessary for elaboration of new methods of treatment for HPV-infection such as therapeutic vaccines.
