Human papillomavirus mediated inhibition of DNA damage sensing and repair drives skin carcinogenesis
28 Oct 2015
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The failure to mount an effective DNA damage response to repair UV induced cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers (CPDs) results in an increased propensity to develop cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC). High-risk patient groups, such as organ transplant recipients (OTRs) frequently exhibit field cancerization at UV exposed body sites from which multiple human papillomavirus (HPV)-associated cSCCs develop...
