Recent increases in incidence and survival of oropharyngeal cancers the United States have been attributed to human papillomavirus (HPV) infection, but empirical evidence is lacking.
High-risk types of human papillomavirus (HPV), including HPV-16, cause a subgroup head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCCs). We examined whether the risk factors for HPV-16-positive HNSCCs are similar to those HPV-16-negative in hospital-based case-control study.Case subjects (n = 240) diagnosed with HNSCC at Johns Hopkins Hospital from 2000 through 2006 were stratified by tumor HPV-16 status as determined situ hybridization. Two control 322) without cancer individually matched age sex...

PURPOSE Recent increases in incidence and survival of oropharyngeal cancers the United States have been attributed to human papillomavirus (HPV) infection, but empirical evidence is lacking. PATIENTS AND METHODS HPV status was determined for all 271 (1984-2004) collected by three population-based cancer registries Surveillance, Epidemiology, End Results (SEER) Residual Tissue Repositories Program using polymerase chain reaction genotyping (Inno-LiPA), HPV16 viral load, mRNA expression....
Human papillomavirus (HPV) is a necessary but insufficient cause of subset oral squamous cell carcinomas (OSCCs) that increasing markedly in frequency. To identify contributory, secondary genetic alterations these cancers, we used comprehensive genomics methods to compare 149 HPV-positive and 335 HPV-negative OSCC tumor/normal pairs. Different behavioral risk factors underlying the two types were reflected distinctive genomic mutational signatures. In OSCCs, signatures APOBEC cytosine...
Abstract The human papillomavirus (HPV) genome is integrated into host DNA in most HPV-positive cancers, but the consequences for chromosomal integrity are unknown. Continuous long-read sequencing of oropharyngeal cancers and cancer cell lines identified a previously undescribed form structural variation, “heterocateny,” characterized by diverse, interrelated, repetitive patterns concatemerized virus segments within cancer. Unique breakpoints shared across variants facilitated stepwise...
Imperfect maintenance of genome integrity has been postulated to be an important cause aging. Here we provide support for this hypothesis by demonstrating that the disruption PASG ( lsh ), a SNF2-like factor facilitates DNA methylation, causes global hypomethylation, developmental growth retardation and premature aging phenotype. mutant mice display signs aging, including low birth weight, failure thrive, graying loss hair, reduced skin fat deposition, osteoporosis, kyphosis, cachexia,...
