    Molecular progression to cervical precancer, epigenetic switch or sequential model?
    Int J Cancer 2018 Apr 21. Epub 2018 Apr 21.
    Centre for Cancer Prevention, Wolfson Institute of Preventive Medicine, Bart's and the London School of Medicine, Charterhouse Square, London EC1M 6BQ, UK.
    The evolution of precancerous cervical lesions is poorly understood. A widely held model of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 3 (CIN3) development is sequential progression from normal through CIN1 and CIN2 to CIN3. Another hypothesis, the "molecular switch" model, postulates that CIN3 can evolve directly from human papillomavirus (HPV)-infected normal epithelium without progressing through CIN1 and CIN2.

    Sci Rep 2018 Apr 16;8(1):6020. Epub 2018 Apr 16.
    Department of Molecular Medicine, University of Padua, Padua, Italy.
    High-risk human papillomaviruses (HR-HPVs) are the causative agents for the onset of several epithelial cancers in humans. The deregulated expression of the viral oncoproteins E6 and E7 is the driving force sustaining the progression of malignant transformation in pre-neoplastic lesions. Targeting the viral E6 oncoprotein through inhibitory compounds can counteract the survival of cancer cells due to the reactivation of p53-mediated pathways and represents an intriguing strategy to treat HPV-associated neoplasias.

    Department of Women's Health Medicine, Hokkaido University, Faculty of Medicine, Sapporo, Japan.
    While cytology-based screening programs have significantly reduced mortality and morbidity from cervical cancer, the global consensus is that primary human papillomavirus (HPV) testing for cervical screening increases detection of high-grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) and invasive cancer. However, the optimal triage strategy for HPV-positive women to avoid over-referral to colposcopy may be setting specific. Since Japan requires data that has been generated domestically to modify screening guidelines, we conducted a 3-year prospective study COMparison of HPV genotyping And Cytology Triage (COMPACT) to evaluate the potential role of HPV16/18 partial genotyping and cytology for primary HPV screening, Totally, 14,642 women aged 20-69yrs undergoing routine screening at three centers in Hokkaido were enrolled.

    BET bromodomain inhibitors show anti-papillomavirus activity in vitro and block CRPV wart growth in vivo.
    Antiviral Res 2018 Apr 10. Epub 2018 Apr 10.
    The Jake Gittlen Cancer Research Foundation, H069, Department of Pathology, C7800, The Pennsylvania State University, College of Medicine, 500 University Drive, Hershey, PA 17033-0850, USA.
    The DNA papillomaviruses infect squamous epithelium and can cause persistent, benign and sometimes malignant hyperproliferative lesions. Effective antiviral drugs to treat human papillomavirus (HPV) infection are lacking and here we investigate the anti-papillomavirus activity of novel epigenetic targeting drugs, BET bromodomain inhibitors. Bromodomain and Extra-Terminal domain (BET) proteins are host proteins which regulate gene transcription, they bind acetylated lysine residues in histones and non-histone proteins via bromodomains, functioning as scaffold proteins in the formation of transcriptional complexes at gene regulatory regions.

    Division of Gastrointestinal Oncology, Shizuoka Cancer Center.
    Concurrent cisplatin based chemoradiotherapy(CRT)is the standard of care for patients with locoregionally advanced squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck(LA-SCCHN). Based on the Bonner trial showing the superiority of cetuximab plus radiotherapy to radiotherapy alone, cetuximab based bioradiotherapy(BRT)is considered as an alternative for patients with LA-SCCHN. However, the non-inferiority of BRT compared to CRT has not yet been demonstrated. Read More
