41 Papillomaviruses and Polyomaviruses A47-year-old divorced, sexually active womanis seen for a routine gynecologic exam. She is a pack-a-day smoker. A Papanicolaou (Pap) smear is performed, and the report indicates high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (SIL) corresponding to a mod- erate dysplasia and cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) score of 2. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis indicates that cells in the lesion are infected with human papillomavirus 16 (HPV-16). 1. What properties of HPV-16 promote the development of, cervical cancer? How is the virus transmnitted? ‘What is the nature of the immune response to the virus? How can transmission and disease be prevented? ‘42-year-old man comes tohis physician 9 months after alung transplant, complaining that he has dou- ble vision, difficulty speaking, feels that his muscles do not work right, has difficulty with balance, has tingling of his hands and feet, and keeps forgetting ‘Summaries Clinically Significant Organisms raruiomavnuses Thgge Weds Hvar tloopes cn ance, pret Matgy Veen and Disease "Spalted capa ONA genre aero aici ecmindtyca eee ect eeptnea ces fie senor re eee fer ry tered cate elmer pe De crnecoe steer ge ee ar Renuer ames peas ir ls brine ent FP shaie fem immune j ‘responses and persists. ei ae sicce a pioeeeeey a Vastra eae + Gta gper RPV va eolae eater ees aud inlephepngel cnc Epldensiny en era Tov Coty cried doa iene: psp beige Diagnosis 35,45, 52,and 58 igger Words and spreaés by vi arly inte asymptomatic ‘anal or ryngelpaailomae ype: 6 lungs sna) (AN, Cervical ntraeothlal neoposi CT, computerized tomography, HU. ‘ha reaction PM, progressive mulifca uxcencephal yl Ware common; STD = Asymptomatic transmission found \Worlide,no seasonalinedence = PCR genome analysis of cervical swabs and issue specimens ‘Treatment, Prevention, and Control * Vaccine for HPV types 611, 16.18.31 = JCV: PML, opportunistic disease abnor imal olgadendrocytes, demyelination BK virus: Kidney; MCPyV: Mel ell y, Virulence, and Disease 1 Small naked capsid, ONA genome Dantgen inactivates p53 and RB to promote cll growth 1 Virus infects tonsils and lymphocytes, mia tne kine 1 Virus ubiquitous and infections are things.

PCR analysis demonstrates the presence of JC polyomavi- mus in the lesion, confirming a diagnosis of progres- sive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML). 5. What properties of JC virus (JCV) promote the develop- ment of PML? 6. Why is this disease also prevalent in individuals with, acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS)?

These viruses are capable of causing lytic, chronic, latent, and transforming, infections, depending on the host cell. HPVs cause warts, and several genotypes are associated with human cancer (eg., cervical carcinoma), BK virus (BKV) and JCV. members of the Polyomaviridae, usually cause asymp- tomatic infection but are associated with renal disease and PML, respectively, in itnmunosuppressed people. Simian virus 40 (SV40) is the prototype polyomavirus, ‘The papillomaviruses and polyomaviruses are small nonenveloped, icosahedral capsid viruses with double stranded circular deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) genomes (Box 41.1), They encode proteins that promote cell growth, ‘The promotion of cell growth facilitates lytic viral repli- cation in a permissive cell type but may oncogenically transform a cell that is nonpermissive.

Viruses in a group cause similar types of warts, ‘The icosahedral capsid of HPV is 50 to 35 nm in diam. eter and consists of two structural proteins that form 72 capsomeres (Fig. 41.1), The HPV genome is circular and has approximately 8000 base pairs. The HPV DNA encodes depending on the virus, and An upstream regulatory region contains the control sequences, for transcription, the shared N-terminal sequence for the carly proteins, and the origin of replication. All the genes are located on one strand (the plus strand) (Fig. 4.2) the replication cycle of HPV is linked to the life cycle of the keratinocyte and epliialcell ofthe skin and mucosa ‘The virus accesses the basal cell layer through breaks in the hin (ie, 113) The Lt protan of HPV ie the viral ata nent protein and nites epiation by TABLE41.1 Human Papillomaviruses and Polyomaviruses and Their Diseases Views Disease Papillomavirus Warts, condyiomas,papllmas cervical penile, Poloravinas ax virus Renal disease” sCvine Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy* Merkel cellvirus Merkel cell carcinoma 1370 atesentin $878 of hese exrcinomas nimmuncsuopressed pater sk genet "Daca ‘Proteelveans and other receptors to trigger endows, from the cell surface.

Viral DNA is found in benign and malignant tumors, especially mucosal papillomas. Almost all cer- vical carcinomas coutain integrated HW DNA with 70% from HPV-16 or HPY-18. Breaking of the circular genome within the BI or B2 genes to promote integration causes these genes to be inactivated, pre venting viral replication without preventing expression of other HPV genes, including the ES, 26, and E7 genes (ig. 41.5).
