| retinoic acid-mediated repression of human papillomavirus 18 transcription and different ligand regulation of the retinoic acid receptor beta gene in non-tumorigenic and tumorigenic hela hybrid cells. | human papillomavirus type 18 (hpv18) belongs to the group of genital papillomaviruses involved in the development of cervical carcinomas. since retinoic acid (ra) is a key regulator of epithelial cell differentiation and a growth inhibitor in vitro of hpv18-positive hela cervical carcinoma cells, we have used hela and hela hybrid cells in order to analyse the effects of ra on expression of the hpv18 e6 and e7 oncogenes and of the cellular ra receptor genes rar-beta and -gamma. we show here that ... | 1992 | 1318198 |
| activation of human papillomavirus type 18 e6-e7 oncogene expression by transcription factor sp1. | the human papillomavirus 18 (hpv18) e6 and e7 proteins are considered to be primarily responsive for the transforming activity of the virus. in order to analyse the molecular mechanisms resulting in viral oncoprotein expression, it is necessary to identify the factors involved in the transcriptional regulation of the e6/e7 genes. here we define by gel retardation experiments a sequence aberrant sp1 binding site present in the promoter proximal part of the viral transcriptional control region (up ... | 1992 | 1336181 |
| increased e6/e7 transcription in hpv 18-immortalized human keratinocytes results from inactivation of e2 and additional cellular events. | we characterized the state of the viral genome and transcription of human papillomavirus 18 oncogenes, e6 and e7, in immortalized human keratinocytes. at passage 9 after transfection with hpv 18 a homogeneous population of immortal clones was present. these cells have the viral dna integrated within the e2 orf, accompanied by its partial deletion, similarly to what has been found in cervical carcinoma specimens. transcription of the e6 and e7 oncogenes is mediated by the major viral early promot ... | 1992 | 1641976 |
| growth-regulating functions of human papillomavirus early gene products in cervical cancer cells acting dominant over enhanced epidermal growth factor receptor expression. | squamous cell carcinomas of the human anogenital tract are usually associated with infection of specific types of human papillomaviruses (hpv 16, 18, 31, 33, 35). the intracellular concentration of human papillomavirus early gene products e6 and e7 has been directly linked to the proliferative capacity of cervical cancer cells. since the expression rate of epidermal growth factor receptor correlates to growth properties in squamous carcinoma cell lines, it has been presumed that human papillomav ... | 1990 | 1692767 |
| identification of b-epitopes in the human papillomavirus 18 e7 open reading frame protein. | a panel of murine mab raised against a ms2 replicase/hpv 18 e7 fusion protein included 23 reactive by elisa with hpv 18 e7 determinants. a total of 19 of the 23 recognized linear epitopes in the n-terminal region of the e7 molecule, while the other four were deduced by binding inhibition assays to recognize conformational determinants in this region. all tested antibodies precipitated a 14-kda peptide doublet that corresponded with the predicted size of the e7 protein, from hela cells, but not f ... | 1990 | 1698872 |
| influence of chromosomal integration on glucocorticoid-regulated transcription of growth-stimulating papillomavirus genes e6 and e7 in cervical carcinoma cells. | in most cervical carcinoma cells the e6 and e7 genes of specific human papillomaviruses are transcribed from viral sequences integrated into host cell chromosomes. glucocorticoids activate the promoter elements of various human papillomaviruses in transient-expression assays. we have analyzed the effect of dexamethasone on the transcription rate of human papillomavirus 18 e6 and e7 genes integrated at different chromosomal sites in four cervical cancer cell lines. dexamethasone led to an increas ... | 1991 | 1847520 |
| buschke-löwenstein tumor: verrucous carcinoma of the anogenitalia. | buschke-löwenstein tumor is a rare type of anogenital squamous cell carcinoma with a distinctive clinical appearance. we present the case of a thirty-four-year-old man with this tumor, which was excised surgically. human papillomavirus was detected in formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded sections with a human papillomavirus 6/11 probe, but not with a human papillomavirus 16 or a human papillomavirus 18 probe. | 1991 | 2070647 |
| characterization of primary human keratinocytes transformed by human papillomavirus type 18. | primary human epithelial cells were cotransfected with phpv-18 and psv2neo, and cell strains were generated by selecting in g418. one cell strain (fe-a), which exhibits an extended life span, is currently in its 30th passage. in comparison, control cultures can only be maintained up to the seventh passage. southern blot analysis revealed the presence of at least one intact, integrated viral genome in these cells. fe-a cells showed altered growth properties, characterized by a change in morpholog ... | 1988 | 2452896 |
| amplification of the integrated viral transforming genes of human papillomavirus 18 and its 5'-flanking cellular sequence located near the myc protooncogene in hela cells. | the human papillomavirus type 18 integrated in the hela cell genome is amplified on chromosome 8. e6, e7, and e1 open reading frames are amplified 5-fold, and the late viral dna region, the viral long control region, and cellular flanking sequences are amplified 15-fold. the common 5'-flanking cellular dna was localized by in situ hybridization of normal and hela cells only on chromosome 8 band q24. this flanking probe is included in the amplification unit of colo320 cells, but in the case of he ... | 1989 | 2545339 |
| histogenesis of cervical adenocarcinoma with reference to human papillomavirus-18 as a carcinogen. | human papillomavirus (hpv) dna is present in adenocarcinoma of the cervix as frequently as in squamous cell carcinoma of the cervix. recent molecular biologic studies strongly suggested that hpv acts at least as a cocarcinogen in the female genital organs. thus, a study of the presence of hpv dna in adenocarcinoma in situ, endocervical glandular dysplasia and microglandular endocervical hyperplasia, three lesions suggested as possible precursor lesions of adenocarcinoma of the cervix, would clar ... | 1989 | 2553963 |
| human papillomavirus deoxyribonucleic acid in lesions of the female genital tract: evidence for type 6/11 in squamous carcinoma of the vulva. | tissue specimens from 51 patients with genital condyloma acuminata or invasive cervical or vulvar carcinomas were analyzed for the presence of human papillomavirus deoxyribonucleic acid (dna) using the dot blot technique. of ten condylomas, 80% contained dna related to human papillomavirus 6 or 11. sixty percent had evidence of dna related to human papillomavirus 16, and 30% contained dna related to human papillomavirus 18. of 24 squamous cervical carcinomas, 58% had human papillomavirus type 16 ... | 1987 | 2819798 |
| chromosomal insertion of human papillomavirus 18 sequences in hela cells detected by nonisotopic in situ hybridization and reflection contrast microscopy. | genomic insertion of human papillomavirus (hpv) sequences is associated with the genesis of cervical carcinoma, and hpv-induced incipient cellular alterations may also present a requisite for the establishment of cell lines such as hela. considering the theoretical importance of specific viral integration sites, we attempted to detect in hela cells the chromosomal location of dna sequences homologous to hpv-16 and hpv-18 sequences by a nonisotopic high resolution in situ hybridization technique. ... | 1987 | 2824333 |
| the bpv1-e2 trans-acting protein can be either an activator or a repressor of the hpv18 regulatory region. | the human papillomavirus 18 (hpv 18) long control region contains promoter and enhancer elements whose activity is restricted to several human cell lines of epithelial origin. this enhancer possesses a considerable constitutive activity which is further stimulated in the presence of the e2 trans-activating protein of bovine papillomavirus 1 (bpv1). surprisingly the same bpv1 protein strongly repressed transcription from the genuine hpv18 enhancer-promoter dna sequences. we suggest that binding o ... | 1987 | 2828029 |
| rearrangement of both alleles of human chromosome 8 in hela cells, one of them as a result of papillomavirus dna integration. | integration of papillomavirus in the genome of the host cell has been found associated with malignant cases of cervical carcinoma. to determine what role viral integration plays as part of the pathogenic mechanism resulting in a cancer cell, the structure of integrated papillomavirus dna (human papillomavirus dna 18) segments and its cellular flanking sequences in hela cells as well as the corresponding normal human allele have been characterized. all integrated viral dna segments have the same ... | 1988 | 2891697 |
| characterization of a transcriptional promoter of human papillomavirus 18 and modulation of its expression by simian virus 40 and adenovirus early antigens. | rna present in cells derived from cervical carcinoma that contained human papillomavirus 18 genomes was initiated in the 1.053-kilobase bamhi fragment that covered the complete noncoding region of this virus. when cloned upstream of the chloramphenicol acetyltransferase gene, this viral fragment directed the expression of the bacterial enzyme only in the sense orientation. initiation sites were mapped around the atg of open reading frame e6. this promoter was active in some human and simian cell ... | 1987 | 3023691 |
| integration sites of human papillomavirus 18 dna sequences on hela cell chromosomes. | human papillomaviruses (hpv) 16 and 18 are closely linked with human genital cancer. in most cervical carcinomas, viral sequences are integrated into the host genome. hela, a cervical carcinoma cell line, has multiple copies of integrated hpv 18 dna. in this study, in situ chromosome hybridization was used to assign the integration sites of hpv 18 dna sequences on hela cell chromosomes. four sites of hybridization were identified at 8q23----q24, 9q31----q34, p11----p13 on an abnormal chromosome ... | 1987 | 3028716 |
| identification of human papillomavirus in cervical swabs by deoxyribonucleic acid in situ hybridization. | a series of 47 lesions diagnosed cytologically as cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (cin) iii in 22 cases, cin i/ii in 13 cases, and 12 cases showing abnormal smears consistent with human papillomavirus infection were analyzed. thirty-six cases with negative cytology were used as the control group. sixty-eight percent of cin iii were positive for a mixture of human papillomavirus 16 and human papillomavirus 18, 18% reacted with human papillomavirus 6 or 11, and 14% were negative. of the group w ... | 1984 | 6095155 |
| human papillomavirus types important in progression of inverted papilloma. | recent evidence suggests that human papillomavirus may play a role in the pathogenesis of inverted papilloma, a benign but locally aggressive neoplasm with a high recurrence rate and an association with squamous cell carcinoma. histologic features of inverted papilloma have not been useful in discriminating lesions at high risk for malignant transformation. we studied archival pathology specimens from 39 patients with inverted papilloma treated at the university of michigan between 1980 and 1994 ... | 1995 | 7478645 |
| human papillomavirus 18-immortalized endocervical cells with in vitro cytokeratin expression characteristics of adenocarcinoma. | to determine whether human papillomavirus (hpv) 18 has a role in the development of adenocarcinoma from human endo- or ectocervical cells. | 1994 | 7507226 |
| integration site of human papillomavirus type-18 dna in chromosome band 8q22.1 of c4-i cervical carcinoma: dnase i hypersensitivity and methylation of cellular flanking sequences. | the c4-i cell line derived from a non-keratinizing squamous cell carcinoma of the uterine cervix contains integrated human papillomavirus-18 dna. fluorescence in situ hybridization of c4-i cells demonstrated a single viral integration site at 8q22.1 on a derivative chromosome originating from an 8q;12q translocation. 8q22 is a site of chromosome fragility and is also recombinogenic in several human malignancies. dnase i hypersensitivity of the integration site was studied with a cellular flankin ... | 1994 | 7507697 |
| interferon-alpha elicits downregulation of human papillomavirus 18 mrna in hela cells by selective repression of endogenous viral transcription. | we have reported that interferon-alpha inhibits hpv-18 mrna in hela cells. here we examine mechanisms by which ifn could modulate hpv expression. in northern blot experiments, we observed that interferon-alpha 2b treatment reduced hpv-18 mrna levels in a time- and dose-dependent manner, with a maximal effect achieved at 48 h. simultaneously, induction of 2-5a synthetase mrna was verified as indicative of ifn action. the ifn regulatory effect on hpv-18 mrna at 48 h required de novo protein synthe ... | 1995 | 7553218 |
| deletion in human chromosome region 12q13-15 by integration of human papillomavirus dna in a cervical carcinoma cell line. | in human cervical carcinomas papillomavirus dna is frequently integrated in the cell genome. we have cloned the integration site of human papillomavirus-18 dna in human chromosome region 12q13-15 present in the sw756 cervical carcinoma cell line. viral dna is broken from nucleotides 2643 to 3418 in the e1 and e2 open reading frames, resulting in a deletion of 775 bases of viral dna. cloning and sequence analysis of the rearranged and germline alleles shows that there is no homology between the t ... | 1995 | 7592643 |
| detection of hpv dna in oral carcinoma using polymerase chain reaction together with in situ hybridization. | this study determined the prevalence of human papillomavirus 16/18 dna in deparaffinized oral carcinoma specimens on slides with the use of the different sensitivities of in situ hybridization and a technique that combines polymerase chain reaction and in situ hybridization. human papillomavirus dna was not detected in the 30 biopsy specimens analyzed by in situ hybridization alone using biotinylated dna probes specific for human papillomavirus 16/18. twenty of 30 specimens (66.7%) were found to ... | 1994 | 8028871 |
| keratinocytes immortalized by human papillomavirus-18 exhibit alterations dependent upon host genetic background and complexity of viral genes transfected. | keratinocytes immortalized by the human papillomaviruses (hpvs) vary in cell morphology, growth properties, resistance to inducers of terminal differentiation, and karyotype. to determine the contribution of the host cell genetic background and the hpv genes to these cellular alterations, we have generated and characterized 6 human keratinocyte lines from two different newborn foreskins (a and b) using either the full-length hpv18 genome or the isolated hpv18 e6/e7 genes. the growth properties o ... | 1994 | 8031475 |
| laryngeal carcinoma in a 12-year-old child. association with human papillomavirus 18 and 33. | a laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma was observed in a 12-year-old child. there was no history of preceding papillomatosis or radiotherapy. we searched for an association with human papillomavirus (hpv). | 1994 | 8123236 |
| combined effects of human papillomavirus-18 and n-methyl-n'-nitro-n-nitrosoguanidine on the transformation of normal human oral keratinocytes. | we immortalized oral keratinocytes by transfecting them with recombinant human papillomavirus (hpv) type 18 dna and established three cell lines. these lines were morphologically different from their normal counterpart, contained integrated entire hpv-18 dna, and expressed the viral e6/e7 genes. the cells contained less p53 protein and more c-myc mrna than normal cells. however, they proliferated only in keratinocyte growth medium (kgm) containing low calcium and were not tumorigenic in nude mic ... | 1994 | 8142012 |
| clear cell adenosquamous carcinoma of the cervix. an aggressive tumor associated with human papillomavirus-18. | it is well recognized that adenocarcinomas and adenosquamous carcinomas of the cervix are frequently associated with human papillomavirus (hpv)-16 or -18. however, few studies have investigated associations between histologic variants of these tumors and specific types of hpv. | 1995 | 8635063 |
| activation of tumor suppressor genes in nontumorigenic revertants of the hela cervical carcinoma cell line. | two nontransformed revertants of hela cells, designated ha and hf, were isolated using a selection procedure based on prolonged retention of the fluorescent dye rhodamine 123 within the mitochondria of hela (atcc ccl2) cells versus normal epithelial cells. unlike the parental hela cells, the revertants expressed markedly reduced levels of the bone-liver-kidney, placental, and intestinal isoforms of alkaline phosphatase, exhibited a flat nonrefractile morphology, and failed to grow in suspension ... | 1996 | 8780886 |
| cytokine regulation of the matrix metalloproteinases and their inhibitors in human papillomavirus-18 transformed human prostatic tumor cell lines. | cytokines may play a critical role in influencing the invasive and metastatic behavior of advanced cancers. to investigate the influence of cytokines on tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase (timp) and matrix metalloproteinase (mmp) expression we have established cultures from prostate tissues of low gleason sum 5 and high gleason sum 10 cancers. we have examined the influence of different cytokines (interleukin [il]-10, il-4, il-6, il-2, and interferon-gamma) on timp-2, mmp-2, and mmp-9 protein ... | 1996 | 8938794 |
| re-expression of interleukin 1 in human papillomavirus 18 immortalized keratinocytes inhibits their tumorigenicity in nude mice. | the ability to form tumors in nude mice developed spontaneously in the human papillomavirus (hpv)-18 immortalized keratinocyte cell line, 18-11, and is shown here to be accompanied by a loss of interleukin 1 (il-1) alpha and beta expression at both the rna and protein level. in addition, a separate tumorigenic 18-11 derivative and two cervical carcinoma-derived cell lines, hela and caski, were found to have significantly decreased or lost il-1 alpha and il-1 beta expression. using retroviral exp ... | 1996 | 8959334 |
| [primary carcinoma of bartholin's glands with hpv 18 detection]. | a primary carcinoma of the bartholin's gland is a rarely type of vulva-carcinoma. the patients median age are 55 years and the etiology of the carcinoma are still unknown. viral influences are discussed. most frequent types of carcinomas of bartholin's gland are those of squamous cells and adenocarcinomas. this article reports on a 55 year old patient with a primary carcinoma of bartholin's gland. the human papillomavirus 18 was detected by a polymerase chain reaction. the correct diagnosis was ... | 1997 | 9173772 |
| binding of human virus oncoproteins to hdlg/sap97, a mammalian homolog of the drosophila discs large tumor suppressor protein. | the 9orf1 gene encodes an adenovirus e4 region oncoprotein that requires a c-terminal region for transforming activity. screening a lambdagt11 cdna expression library with a 9orf1 protein probe yielded a novel cellular pdz domain-containing protein, 9bp-1, which binds to wild-type, but not a transformation-defective, c-terminal, mutant 9orf1 protein. the fact that pdz domains complex with specific sequences at the free c-terminal end of some proteins led to the recognition that the 9orf1 c-termi ... | 1997 | 9192623 |
| complex genomic rearrangement within the 12q15 multiple aberration region induced by integrated human papillomavirus 18 in a cervical carcinoma cell line. | human papillomavirus (hpv) dna is integrated into the host genome in cervical cancer. the cervical carcinoma cell line sw756 has integrated hpv-18 dna in chromosome region 12q15, in the papillomavirus-associated locus-2 (pal2). by polymerase chain reaction and hybridization of an arrayed cosmid library with oligonucleotides from the rearranged allele, we determined the pre-integration germline structure of the region. pal2 was located approximately 10 kb from sequence-tagged site marker u27131, ... | 1997 | 9210958 |
| androgen responsive adult human prostatic epithelial cell lines immortalized by human papillomavirus 18. | prostate cancer and benign tumors of the prostate are the two most common neoplastic diseases in men in the united states, however, research on their causes and treatment has been slow because of the difficulty in obtaining fresh samples of human tissue and a lack of well characterized cell lines which exhibit growth and differentiation characteristics of normal prostatic epithelium. non-neoplastic adult human prostatic epithelial cells from a white male donor were immortalized with human papill ... | 1997 | 9214605 |
| acinar differentiation by non-malignant immortalized human prostatic epithelial cells and its loss by malignant cells. | invasive prostatic carcinomas and prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia (pin) are characterized by a loss of normal cell organization, cell polarity, and cell:cell and cell:basement membrane adhesion. the objective of this study was to establish in vitro three-dimensional (3-d) cell models which can be used to investigate mechanisms involved in acinar morphogenesis and differentiation in normal prostatic epithelium and their abnormalities in cancer cells. the process of acinar morphogenesis, inclu ... | 1997 | 9214606 |
| cytogenetic and molecular genetic analysis of tumorigenic human bronchial epithelial cells induced by radon alpha particles. | to establish a cell culture model for lung carcinogenesis, independent populations of the human papillomavirus 18-immortalized human bronchial epithelial cell line bep2d were treated with high linear energy transfer radon-simulated alpha-particles, expanded and xenotransplanted into nu/nu mice. six independent cell lines were established from tumors that developed from three separate radiation treatments as follows: treatment (tx) 1 (30 cgy--two doses), h2bt, tx 2 (30 cgy--single dose), r30t1l, ... | 1997 | 9214610 |
| effect of herpes simplex virus on the dna of human papillomavirus 18. | some types of human papillomaviruses (hpv) appear to be associated with carcinoma of the cervix or other tissues, but patients infected with hpv do not necessarily develop carcinoma. some epidemiological studies of risk factors for cervical carcinoma have indicated the involvement of herpes simplex virus (hsv). to study the effect of hsv on the genome of hpv, total dnas were extracted and analyzed after hela cells, or a431 cells, transiently transfected with hpv18 dna, were infected with hsv-1 o ... | 1997 | 9298725 |
| detection of hela cell contamination--presence of human papillomavirus 18 dna as hela marker in jtc-3, og and oe cell lines. | there are warnings of the contamination of cell cultures with hela cells in many laboratories in the world. the cell lines jtc-3, og and oe that were established in okayama in 1959, 1969 and 1971, respectively, were examined for human papillomavirus (hpv) 18 dna by southern blot hybridization. the hpv 18 dna detected in these three cell lines showed hybridization patterns characteristic of the hpv 18 dna in the hela cell line established in 1951. southern hybridization patterns of hpv 18 dna in ... | 1997 | 9556756 |
| cervical cancer in older women: a molecular analysis of human papillomavirus types, hla types, and p53 mutations. | the purpose of this study was to evaluate cervical cancers in older women to determine whether they differed from tumors in younger women with respect to human papillomavirus types, frequencies of p53 mutations, and presence of a proposed high-risk hla-dr2 haplotype. | 1998 | 9704765 |
| human papillomavirus 18 oncoproteins e6 and e7 enhance irradiation- and chemotherapeutic agent-induced apoptosis in p53 and rb mutated cervical cancer cell lines. | tumor suppressor genes p53 and rb are important in cell cycle control. necessity of wild type p53 is implicated in irradiation-induced apoptosis. numerous tumor cells carry p53 mutations and yet are sensitive to irradiation or chemotherapeutic agents. therefore p53-and rb-independent pathways must exist to account for irradiation-induced apoptosis. we evaluated the apoptotic response of a p53- and rb-mutated, human papilloma virus (hpv) negative cervical cancer cell line (c33a), and c33a cell li ... | 1999 | 10410876 |
| localization of tumor suppressor gene candidates by cytogenetic and short tandem repeat analyses in tumorigenic human bronchial epithelial cells. | radon exposure is associated with increased risk for bronchogenic carcinoma. mutagenesis analyses have revealed that radon induces mostly multi-locus chromosome deletions. based on these findings, it was hypothesized that deletion analysis of multiple radon-induced malignant transformants would reveal common mutations in chromosomal regions containing tumor suppressor genes responsible for malignant transformation. this hypothesis was supported by a previous study in which tumorigenic derivative ... | 2000 | 10657959 |
| development, characterization and distribution of adoptively transferred peripheral blood lymphocytes primed by human papillomavirus 18 e7--pulsed autologous dendritic cells in a patient with metastatic adenocarcinoma of the uterine cervix. | we describe a 27-year-old woman with systemic chemoresistant and radioresistant metastatic disease secondary to a recurrence of human papillomavirus (hpv) 18 infected cervical adenocarcinoma of the uterine cervix who received adoptive transfer of peripheral blood t cells stimulated with hpv 18 e7-pulsed autologous dendritic cells (dc). extensive in vitro characterization of the dc-activated t cells derived from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (pbmc) included phenotypic analysis, cytotoxicity ... | 2000 | 10726612 |
| poor clinical outcome in early stage cervical cancer with human papillomavirus-18 positive lymph nodes. | epidemiologic and molecular studies have proven that human papillomavirus (hpv) plays an important role in the development of cervical cancer. however, the role of the virus in the progression of the disease, i.e. in the development of lymph node metastasis and in the adverse clinical outcome is poorly understood. we have been using the polymerase chain reaction (pcr) to study the presence and typing of human papillomavirus dna since 1980 in cervical cancers and pelvic lymph nodes from the same ... | 2000 | 10767518 |
| the structural basis of dna target discrimination by papillomavirus e2 proteins. | the papillomavirus e2 proteins regulate the transcription of all papillomavirus genes and are necessary for viral dna replication. disruption of the e2 gene is commonly associated with malignancy in cervical carcinoma, indicating that e2 has a role in regulating tumor progression. although the e2 proteins from all characterized papillomaviruses bind specifically to the same 12-base pair dna sequence, the cancer-associated human papillomavirus e2 proteins display a unique ability to detect dna fl ... | 2000 | 10906136 |
| casein kinase ii phosphorylation of the human papillomavirus-18 e7 protein is critical for promoting s-phase entry. | the human papillomavirus type 18 e7 protein subverts the prb/e2f pathway to promote s-phase reentry by postmitotic, differentiated primary human keratinocytes in support of viral dna amplification. we prepared a panel of hpv-18 e7 mutations in prb binding or in casein kinase ii (ckii) phosphorylation. our results showed that the ability of e7 binding to prb correlated with the activation of dna polymerase alpha or cyclin e to various extents in differentiated keratinocytes of organotypic culture ... | 2000 | 10965847 |
| bovine dental papilla-derived cells immortalized with hpv 18 e6/e7. | in vitro investigations of cell-specific metabolism and cell interactions as well as biocompatibility studies are often hampered by the limited lifespan of primary cells originating from target tissues like the oral mucosa, gingiva or pulp. pulp cells, as do other primary cells, undergo senescence after several passages in vitro. however, senescence can be overcome by transfection of primary cells with oncogenes like the hpv 18 (human papillomavirus 18) e6/e7 oncogene, resulting in immortalized ... | 2000 | 11037760 |
| isolated human papillomavirus 18-positive extragenital bowenoid papulosis and idiopathic cd4+ lymphocytopenia. | we report a case of isolated extragenital bowenoid papulosis (bp) in a young man with an idiopathic low cd4 count. the lesions occurred on the dorsal aspect of his left middle finger and were not associated with genital involvement. polymerase chain reaction studies of a biopsy demonstrated human papillomavirus 18. as far as we are aware, this is the first documented case of bp (genital or extragenital) associated with idiopathic cd4 lymphocytopenia. | 2001 | 11260028 |
| prevalence and determinants of human papillomavirus genital infection in men. | four-hundred-forty-five husbands of women with invasive cervical carcinoma, 165 of women with in situ cervical cancer, and 717 of control women (age range 19-82 years) were interviewed and a sample of exfoliated cells from the penis obtained in seven case-control studies conducted by the international agency for research on cancer. the characteristics of human papillomavirus-positive and human papillomavirus-negative husbands were compared using odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals. thirteen ... | 2002 | 11875730 |
| three regions of the prb pocket domain affect its inactivation by human papillomavirus e7 proteins. | a critical event in papillomavirus transformation of human cells is the inactivation of prb by the e7 protein. e7, like many other viral oncoproteins, possesses a well-characterized lxcxe peptide motif that interacts with the pocket domain of prb. disruption of the lxcxe-binding cleft on prb renders it resistant to e7 binding and inactivation. such binding cleft mutants of prb are capable of inducing a g(1) arrest in the human papillomavirus 18-transformed hela cell line. we show here that the e ... | 2002 | 12021356 |
| transcription-independent triggering of the extrinsic pathway of apoptosis by human papillomavirus 18 e2 protein. | cervical carcinomas are most frequently associated with human papillomaviruses (hpv), whose e6 and e7 oncogenes products induce cellular immortalization. the papillomavirus e2 protein is a transcription factor, which represses the expression of the viral oncogenes, and activates viral dna replication during the vegetative viral cycle. this protein is specifically inactivated in hpv18-associated carcinoma cells, suggesting that e2 functions prevent carcinogenic progression. indeed, ectopic expres ... | 2003 | 12527886 |
| comparison of human papillomavirus genotypes, sexual, and reproductive risk factors of cervical adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma: northeastern united states. | although human papillomavirus causes essentially all cervical carcinoma, cofactors may differ by cancer histologic type. we examined human papillomavirus genotypes and sexual and reproductive risk factors for cervical adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma. | 2003 | 12634637 |
| cloning and expression of the l1 major capsid protein of the human papillomavirus 18 in murine cells. | human papillomavirus (hpv) type 18 is strongly associated with the development of cervical cancer. studies of a model system with animal papillomaviruses have demonstrated the importance of neutralizing antibodies in preventing papillomavirus-associated disease. the immune response to hpv is poorly understood, and there are non- standardized serological assays to identify hpv infections. in our study, the assessment of antibody responses against hpvs (previously hampered by the lack of viral sou ... | 2003 | 14612984 |
| the human papillomavirus-18 genome is efficiently targeted by cellular dna methylation. | human papillomaviruses (hpvs) infect epithelia, including the simple and the squamous epithelia of the cervix, where they can cause cancer and precursor lesions. the molecular events leading from asymptomatic hpv infections to neoplasia are poorly understood. there is evidence that progression is modulated by transcriptional mechanisms that control hpv gene expression. here, we report the frequent methylation of hpv-18 genomes in cell culture and in situ. dna methylation is generally known to le ... | 2004 | 15207633 |
