The skin is an organ in which direct contact with viruses, solar UV irradiation and increased susceptibility to immune suppression gather to support viral tumorigenesis. Viruses transform keratinocytes by activation of cancer-promoting genes. Viral proteins may directly act as oncogenes that drive cells to proliferate or generate inflammatory responses and cause regeneration of injured cells that eventually lead to malignant transformation. Accelerated viral carcinogenesis is observed in the… Expand

The HPV16 E6 oncoprotein and UVB irradiation inhibit the tumor suppressor TGFβ pathway in the epidermis of the K14E6 transgenic mouse
TLDR
It is found that the E6 oncogene and UVB irradiation impair the TGFβ pathway in epidermis of K14E6 mice by downregulation of the TβRII receptor, which prevents downstream activation of Smad2 and target genes as p15, an important regulator of cell cycle progression. Expand
A new hypothesis to explain skin cancer risk in kidney allograft recipients
TLDR
It is suggested that the high incidence of non-melanoma skin cancer seen in KT patients is mediated by off-target effects of calcineurin inhibitors in the skin, combined with a “permissive” cancer microinflammatory environment. Expand
New Enlightenment of Skin Cancer Chemoprevention through Phytochemicals: In Vitro and In Vivo Studies and the Underlying Mechanisms
TLDR
This revision presents a comprehensive knowledge and the main molecular mechanisms of actions of various phytochemicals in the chemoprevention of skin cancer. Expand
Prevalence of Cutaneous Human Papillomavirus infections at Parirenyatwa hospital's Kaposi Sarcoma Clinic and the Opportunistic Infections Clinic: Association with Non- Melanoma Skin Cancers
TLDR
The study provides baseline molecular-epidemiological information for cutaneous HPV infections in Zimbabwe and indicates a difference in the types of HPV genotypes detected in the skin lesions in this population when compared to European populations, where there is a AŸ species 2 predominance. Expand
DNA-tumor virus entry--from plasma membrane to the nucleus.
TLDR
How DNA-tumor viruses enter cells, take advantage of cytoplasmic transport, and import their DNA genome through the nuclear pore complex into the nucleus is discussed. Expand
Molecular diagnosis of infection-related cancers in dermatopathology.
  • M. Pulitzer
  • Medicine
  • Seminars in cutaneous medicine and surgery
  • 2012
TLDR
In this review, molecular features of tumor viruses and related host responses are explored and the tests used to identify such features are summarized. Expand
The role of human endogenous retroviruses in melanoma
TLDR
In vitro and mouse models have provided fascinating insights into the potential mechanisms of HERVs in melanomagenesis and the evidence associating HERVs with melanoma is considered. Expand
DNA Damage Repair Genes Controlling Human Papillomavirus (HPV) Episome Levels under Conditions of Stability and Extreme Instability
TLDR
The findings demonstrate that viral episomes can be targeted for elimination from cells by minor groove binding agents, and implicate DDR pathways as important mediators of this process. Expand
A Topical Zinc Ionophore Blocks Tumorigenic Progression in UV‐exposed SKH‐1 High‐risk Mouse Skin
TLDR
Feasibility of repurposing a topical OTC drug for zinc‐directed photochemoprevention of solar UV‐induced NMSC is demonstrated and feasibility of harnessing pharmacological disruption of intracellular zinc homeostasis for photochemiprevention in vitro and in vivo is tested. Expand
Epidemiology and Aetiology of Non-melanoma Skin Cancer
TLDR
Skin cancer can be categorized broadly into cutaneous melanoma and nonmelanoma skin cancer, which is by far the most common malignancy encountered in the human body, and is found frequently in primary care settings, which makes it an important public health consideration. Expand

TLDR
The question with regard to high-risk HPV types should be readdressed in case-control studies on the basis of serology, which can reveal viral activities over years, and the kinetics of HPV activation relative to tumor development should be determined. Expand
Impact of transforming viruses on cellular mutagenesis, genome stability, and cellular transformation
TLDR
Mechanisms utilized by these viral oncoproteins, Tax, HBx, and E6/E7, to mediate genomic instability and cellular transformation are discussed. Expand
Repair of UV-induced thymine dimers is compromised in cells expressing the E6 protein from human papillomaviruses types 5 and 18
TLDR
Results show that unrepaired DNA damage can be observed in UV-B-irradiated cells expressing the E6 protein of HPV types found in cervical and epithelial cancers, and such cells have the ability to overcome the G1 cell cycle checkpoint induced as a result of un repaired DNA. Expand
HPV‐associated skin disease
TLDR
Recent molecular studies reveal a likely role for HPV infection in skin carcinogenesis as a co‐factor in association with UV, which is well established that solar ultraviolet (UV) irradiation is the major risk factor for developing NMSC. Expand

The Kaposi's Sarcoma-Associated Herpesvirus G Protein-Coupled Receptor Has Broad Signaling Effects in Primary Effusion Lymphoma Cells
TLDR
KSHV/human herpesvirus 8 [HHV-8], a gamma-2-herpesvirus responsible for Kaposi's sarcoma as well as primary effusion lymphoma, is a lymphotropic virus that has pirated many mammalian genes involved in inflammation, cell cycle control, and angiogenesis and vGPCR is a homologue of the human interleukin-8 receptor. Expand
NF-kappaB functions as a tumour promoter in inflammation-associated cancer.
TLDR
It is shown that the inflammatory process triggers hepatocyte NF-kappaB through upregulation of tumour-necrosis factor-alpha (TNFalpha) in adjacent endothelial and inflammatory cells, and is therefore a potential target for cancer prevention in chronic inflammatory diseases. Expand
Selective mechanisms utilized by persistent and oncogenic viruses to interfere with antigen processing and presentation

TLDR
This review describes selective mechanisms utilized by viruses for interference with antigen processing and presentation, and addresses their significance for in vivo viral persistence and tumor progression. Expand
Mucosal human papillomavirus types in squamous cell carcinomas of the uterine cervix and subsequently on fingers
TLDR
The hypothesis of a possible transmission of patients’ genital HPV infections to fingers is supported and a newly developed ‘neighbour primer’ polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for HPV 16 DNA was shown to be superior to conventional general and type‐specific HPV PCR tests. Expand
