Abstract

Human papillomaviruses (HPV) have frequently been detected in colorectal cancer tumor samples, and may play a role in the pathogenesis of colorectal cancer. This study was designed to investigate the presence of DNA and RNA for the high-risk HPV genotypes 16 and 18 in samples of colorectal cancer tumors and adjacent normal tissues. We also investigated the expression of proapoptotic genes in HPV-positive colorectal tumors compared to normal tissue samples. Samples of tumoral and adjacent normal tissues were fresh-frozen, and HPV DNA was identified by nested and semiquantitative PCR. Real time PCR was used to quantitatively compare the expression of HPV-18 E6 and nine proapoptotic genes in HPV-positive tumors and samples of adjacent normal tissue. HPV-16 DNA was found in 10.5% of the tumor samples, and HPV-18 DNA was found in 23.6% of the samples. Real time PCR results showed lower expression of the E6 gene in HPV-positive tumors than in adjacent normal tissue. The expression of two proapoptotic genes, FAS and DR5, was significantly lower in tumor samples than in adjacent normal tissues. HPV infection, especially HPV-18, may play a role in colorectal cancer tumorigenesis by downregulating death receptor genes and interfering wit...Continue Reading

Atrophic Gastritis

Atrophic Gastritis is a process where gastric glandular cells are lost and replaced with firbous tissues, as a result of chronic inflammation. Learn more about Atrophic Gastritis here.

Apoptosis in Cancer

Apoptosis is an important mechanism in cancer. By evading apoptosis, tumors can continue to grow without regulation and metastasize systemically. Many therapies are evaluating the use of pro-apoptotic activation to eliminate cancer growth. Here is the latest research on apoptosis in cancer.

Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a specific process that leads to programmed cell death through the activation of an evolutionary conserved intracellular pathway leading to pathognomic cellular changes distinct from cellular necrosis
