VIRAL CARCINOGENESISASSOCIATION WAS FIRST OBSERVED BY ITALIAN PHYSICIAN SANARELLI IN 1889
ONCOGENIC VIRUSES ARE TRANSMITTED BY ONE OF 3 ROUTES1.VERTICAL TRANSMISSION-GENETICALLY TRANSMITTED
2. HORIZONTAL TRANSMISSION DIRECT CONTACT LIKE CONTAGIOUS DISEASES
3.BY INOCULATIONONCOGENIC VIRUSES ARE CLASSIFIED INTO1.DNA ONCOGENIC VIRUSES2.RNA ONCOGENIC VIRUSES
DNA ONCOGENIC VIRUSES5 GROUPS 1. PAPOVA VIRUSES2. HERPES VIRUSES 3. DENO VIRUSES4.POX VIRUSES5 HEPADNA VIRUSES
1.PAPOVAVIRUSESA.PAPILLOMA VIRUSESABOUT 70 TYPES HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED
HIGH RISK HPV-16,18-CAUSEINVASIVE SQUAMOUS CELL CARCINOMA OF CERVIX,ANUS,PERIANAL REGION,VULVA,PENIS AND ORAL CAVITY
LOW RISK HPV-1,2,4 AND 7CAUSE SQUAMOUS CELL PAPILLOMAS,HPV 6 AND 11CAUSE GENITAL WARTS
B. SV 40 VIRUS A PAPOVA VIRUS?MESOTHELIOMA OF PLEURA IN HUMAN BEINGS
2 . HERPES VIRUSESA. EPSTEIN-BARR VIRUS(EBV) a.BURKTT’S LYMPHOMA( A B CELL LYMPHOMA)FIRST NOTICED IN AFRICAN CHILDREN BY BURKITT IN 1958.
90% BURKITT ‘S LYMPHOMA TUMOUR CELLS HAVE EBV DNA HIGH ANTIBODY TITERS.OCCURS IN IMMUNOSUPRESSION CASES AS IN MALARIA AND HIV.
b.ANAPLASTIC NASOPHARYNGEALCARCINOMA-SOUTH EAST ASIA CHINA, ESKIMOS
100% CASES CARRY EBV DNA IN TUMOUR CELLS.HIGH TITERS OF ANTIBODY TO EBV ANTIGENS
B . HUMAN HERPES VIRUS 8 (HHS 8)OR KAPOSI’S SARCOMA ASSOCIATED HERPES VIRUS(KSHS)A VASCULAR NEOPLASM COMMON IN AIDS PATIENTS
HHS 8 VIRUS ALSO CAUSE B CELL LYMPHOMA3 . ADENOVIRUSES NOT IN HUMAN BEINGS4.POXVIRUS-SQUAMOUS CELL PAPILLOMA - MOLLUSCUM CONTAGIOSUM
5.HEPADNAVIRUSHBV BELONGS TO THIS FAMILYCAUSE HEPATOCELLULARCARCINOMA CONTINUED HEPATOCYTE DESTRUCTION
FOLLOWED BY PROLIFERATION WHICH MAKES THEM VULNERABLE TO THE ACTION OF AFLATOXIN FROM ASPERGILLOUS FLAVUS MUTATION-HCCHCV – 50% CASES OF HCC
RNA ONCOGENIC VIRUSRETROVIRUSES - HAVING ENZYME REVERSE TRANSCRIPTASE(RT)3 SUB-GROUPS1.ACUTE TRANSFORMING VIRUSES2 . SLOW TRANSFORMING VIRUSES
3. HUMAN T CELL LYMPHOTROPIC VIRUSES(HTLV).RNA VIRUSES HAVE 3 GENESgag,pol,env genes
ACUTE TRANSFORMING VIRUSESTRANSFORM ALL THE INFECTED CELLS INTO MALIGNANT CELLS RAPIDLY.
THEY ARE DEFECTIVE VIRUSES WHERE v-onc HAS SUBSTITUTED gag,pol AND env AND THESE DEFECTIVE VIRUSES CANNOT REPLICATE BY THEMSELVES
UNLESS THE HOST CELL IS INFECTED BY ANOTHER HELPER VIRUS.NOT FOUND TO BE ONCOGENIC TO HUMANS.
2.SLOW TRANSFORMING VIRUSESMOUSE MAMMARY TUMOUR VIRUS(BITTNER MILKFACTOR)INSERTIONAL MUTAGENESIS-NEOPLASTIC TRANSFORMATIONNOT ONCOGENIC TO HUMANS
3.HUMAN T CELL LYMPHOTROPIC VIRUSES(HTLV)ONLY RETROVIRUS IMPLICATED IN HUMAN CANCER1.HTLV 1- ADULT T CELL LEUKKAEMIA LYMPHOMA SYNDROME2.HTLV II –T CELL VARIANT OF HAIRY CELL LEUKAEMIA
3. HTLV III(HTLV-III is an outdated term for HIV-1)4. HTLV IVIMMUNOSUPPRESSION PLAYS A SUPPORTIVE ROLE IN NEOPLASTIC TRANSFORMATIONNO v-oncogene MEDIATIONNO INSERTIONAL MUTAGENESIS
HTLV I - HAS tat geneIN ADDITION TO gag,pol,env genestat gene STIMULATES NEOPLASTIC CELL PROLIFERATION OFT CELLS.
FIRST POLYCLONALTHEN MONOCLONALPROLIFERATION -LEUKAEMIALYMPHOMA
HTLV II- TRANSFORMATION BY PROMOTER INSERTION-ONCOGENESIS BY ONCOGENES AND GROWTH FACTORS
MODE OFDNA VIRAL ONCOGENESISa . INFECTION –REPLICATION-CYTOLYSIS-RELEASE OF VIRUSESb . INTEGRATION –VIRAL DNAINTEGRATES INTO HOST DNA-NEOPLASTIC TRANSFORMATION
MODE OF RNA VIRALONCOGENESISRETROVIRUS CONTAIN 2 IDENTICAL RNA STRANDSAND ENZYME REVERSE TRANSCRIPTASE
RT ACTS AS A RNA DEPENDENT DNA SYNTHETASEACT AS TEMPLATE TO SYNTHESIS OF ASINGLE STRAND OF MATCHING VIRAL DNA.
SINGLE STRAND OF VIRAL DNA IS THEN COPIED BY DNA DEPENDENT DNA POLYMERASE TO FORM ANOTHER STRAND OF COMPLIMENTARY DNA
THIS RESULTS IN DOUBLE STRANDED VIRAL DNA FORMATION OR PROVIRUS FORMATION
PROVIRAL DNA GETS INTEGRATED INTO HOST CELL GENOME - NEOPLASM
