Why Study Infection Associated Cancers?
• Prevention - vaccines, eliminate agent
• Diagnosis - identify precursors expressing agent
• Treatment - anti-virals, antibiotics
• Provides insights into mechanism
• Important problem - large world wide burden of cancer
Principles of Oncology: Dysregulation of The Cell Cycle
p53
Rb
Central Roles Played by p53 and Rb
Carcinogen – A substance or agent that induces cancer
Viruses as Carcinogens
Viruses Chemicals/Radiation
Introduce foreign DNA Point Mutations/ DNA breaks
Must persist in DNA form Hit and Run
Continued expression of viral continued presence not required genes necessary
Specific:1/few viral genes Random: many genes altered expressed
DNA Tumor Viruses
Virus Oncoproteins Cellular Targets
Polyomavirus SV40, MCPyV
Large T antigen Small t antigen p53 and pRb tumor suppressors
Human papillomavirus
E6 E7
P53 pRb
Bovine papillomavirus E5 PDGFβ receptor
Adenovirus (rodent cells)
E1A E1B-55k
pRb p53
Epstein-Barr virus
LMP1 vIL10 BCL2 homolog
TRAFs IL-10 receptor (soluble viral cytokine) Rescues cell from apoptosis
Doorbar, J., Clinical Sci., 2006.
HPV: Many types, but only some associated with cervical cancer
**only E6/E7 from oncogenic types bind their p53/Rb targets.
Oncogenic HPV: Early expression of E6 and E7 in basal cells à prevents normal senescence à cell survival and proliferation.
2º mutations à oncogene activation
à Cervical cancer
10-15 years
Doorbar, J., Clinical Sci., 2006.
Gardasil: quadravalent vaccine
Quadrivalent HPV 6/11/16/18 L1 virus-like particle • VLPs are produced in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
Some HPV types associated with severe papilloma formation.
HBV: DNA virus HCV: RNA virus (Flavivirus)
inhibits DNA damage repair
HCV: -induces HCC by i) increasing ROS ii) inducing proliferation pathways
EBV: - induces B cell immortalization - Rare 2⁰ mutations à lymphoma (typically assoc with immunosuppression)
KSHV (HHV-8) and Kapsoi’s sarcoma: angiogenic disease
Acute Transforming Retroviruses: -“extra gene” not encoding Gag, Pol or Env.
tsRSV: -causes transformation at the permissive temp. (35ºC) but not at the non-permissive temp. (39.5ºC). First proof of a transforming gene (“oncogene”) not required for virus replication.
