The molecular mechanism of human papillomavirus-induced carcinogenesis in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma

Abstract: Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is the sixth most common cancer worldwide. Recently, the incidence of oropharyngeal cancer (OPC) has increased markedly in comparison to that of HNSCC, which is associated with the use of tobacco or alcohol or both. This increase has resulted mainly from the global rise in the number of human papillomavirus (HPV)-related oropharyngeal cancers (HPV-OPCs). HPV-OPC has several unique characteristics, including presentation in younger patients, better response rates to… Show more

“…High-risk HPV infection of mucosal epithelia leads to the expression of viral E6 and E7 oncoproteins inducing the inactivation of both the p53 and the retinoblastoma (Rb) tumor suppressive proteins, which contribute to the malignant formation of HPV-related cancers. In addition, immune escape, genomic instability, HPV DNA integration, and epigenetic alterations are also important for HPV-related cancer progression 6 . In fact, high-risk HPV integration is now known to be associated with the progression from low- to high-grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasia 7 .…”

“…In turn, E2 transcription factors are activated resulting in expression of S-phase-related genes and thus cell cycle progression [19]. This functional inactivation of the Rb-pathway finally leads to p16 over-expression -a phenomenon which is commonly used as surrogate marker for HPV infection in HNSCC (reviewed in [20]). In addition, the HPV E6 oncoprotein initiates ubiquitylation and subsequent proteasomal degradation of p53, impaired activation of p21, and finally uncontrolled cell cycle progression.…”

“…In addition, the HPV E6 oncoprotein initiates ubiquitylation and subsequent proteasomal degradation of p53, impaired activation of p21, and finally uncontrolled cell cycle progression. Accordingly, it is of similar relevance for HNSCC pathogenesis as HPV E7 [20,21], and detection of HPV E6 and/or E7 is frequently used for diagnostic purposes [22].…”

“…HPV-associated cancers include cervical, head and neck, vulval, vaginal, penile and anal cancers (Table EV3). The major cause of pathogenesis 7 in cancers induced by HPV infection is the p53 deficiency arising from its E6 oncoviral proteinmediated degradation, even though p53 is predominantly WT (Scheffner, Werness et al 1990, Balz, Scheckenbach et al 2003, Strati and Lambert 2008, Sano and Oridate 2016, Faraji, Zaidi et al 2017. The amino acid residues 94-292 in p53 comprise the core binding region for E6mediated degradation Coffino 1996, Martinez-Zapien, Ruiz et al 2016) and though p53β/ isoforms retain this region, lack of the C-terminus may alter the tertiary structure of the E6/E6AP/p53/ complex, impeding their degradation.…”
