What is a koilocyte (Welle, Maulidn, JPC)
swollen keratinocytes with eosinophilic to lightly basophilic cytoplasm and perinuclear halo
-can have multiple nuceli
Name viral cytopathic effects papilloma (JPC)
How are papillomaviruses sperad
Name 3 genera
What are the predispositions /predilections
Which proteins are involved in malignant transformation
How does the infection occur
PV- induced cancer. What is the critical step
integration od E6 and E7 genes (proteins- oncogenes) in host DNA
Where are early genes expressed
in basal and suprabasal layers
Where are late genes expressed
in SS and SG
Where are virions expressed
-upper SG and SC
How are infective viruses spread
-released due to normal cell death
What are the methods of evading immune system (ch infections)
Name 3 components of genes
What are the oncogens
E5,E6,E7
What is the function of E1, E2
-regulation of viral DNA replication
Function of E3
modulates immune response of infected cells
Function of E4
disrupt cytokeratins facilitating viral release (viral replication)
Function of E5
BPV-1, BPV-2
-inhibits intercellular communication through gap junctions
-activates PDGF receptor
-down regulates MCH-1
-interactions with growth factors
functions of E6 and E7
= cell proliferation and immortalization
E6-disrupts focal adhesions, degrade p53 (accumulate various mutations)
E7-cell growth, chromosomal instability, , inhibit retinoblastoma (Rb): important tumor suppressor protein
What is function of late genes
=coded in SS and SG
L1, L2- genes encode for viral capid protein
L1- major capsid protein highly immunogenic, used to classify PV in genera
What are LCR (long control region)
-does not code proteins
-regulates viral gene transcription (when and which genes are necessary in the process of infections)
How can dg be made
How is IHC used for dg PV
-SG: Ab detect L1 protein or increased p16
-L1 protein forms the capsid- largely produced in late process of viral repilcation
-rarely present in advanced BISC or in PV + SCC
