Epigenetic and Genetic Keys to Fight HPV-Related Cancers
Cervical cancer ranks as the fourth most prevalent cancer among women globally, with approximately 600,000 new cases being diagnosed each year. The principal driver of cervical cancer is the human papillomavirus (HPV), where viral oncoproteins E6 and E7 undertake the role of driving its carcinogenic...

| description | Cervical cancer ranks as the fourth most prevalent cancer among women globally, with approximately 600,000 new cases being diagnosed each year. The principal driver of cervical cancer is the human papillomavirus (HPV), where viral oncoproteins E6 and E7 undertake the role of driving its carcinogenic potential. Despite extensive investigative efforts, numerous facets concerning HPV infection, replication, and pathogenesis remain shrouded in uncertainty. The virus operates through a variety of epigenetic mechanisms, and the epigenetic signature of HPV-related tumors is a major bottleneck in our understanding of the disease. Recent investigations have unveiled the capacity of viral oncoproteins to influence epigenetic changes within HPV-related tumors, and conversely, these tumors exert an influence on the surrounding epigenetic landscape. Given the escalating occurrence of HPV-triggered tumors and the deficiency of efficacious treatments, substantial challenges emerge. A promising avenue to address this challenge lies in epigenetic modulators. This review aggregates and dissects potential epigenetic modulators capable of combatting HPV-associated infections and diseases. By delving into these modulators, novel avenues for therapeutic interventions against HPV-linked cancers have come to the fore. |
