Molecular interaction of human papilloma virus (HPV) with microRANs: insights into the development of cervical cancer and treatment approaches

Abstract Cervical cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer-related death among women worldwide, and high-risk human papillomavirus (HR-HPV) plays a crucial role in its development. HPV’s oncogenic processes include the viral oncoproteins E6 and E7, which interfere with essential biological proc...

description Abstract Cervical cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer-related death among women worldwide, and high-risk human papillomavirus (HR-HPV) plays a crucial role in its development. HPV’s oncogenic processes include the viral oncoproteins E6 and E7, which interfere with essential biological processes, causing DNA instability and uncontrolled cell growth. Recent research suggests that microRNAs (miRNAs) have a role in HPV-mediated tumor development, with dysregulation of particular miRNAs influencing cancer cell proliferation, immune escape, and therapy resistance. This review summarizes the most recent research on HPV’s molecular interactions with host miRNAs, focusing on their functions in regulating tumor-suppressive genes and oncogenic mechanisms. Furthermore, we investigate HPV-induced epigenetic alterations that contribute to miRNA dysregulation and corresponding changes in cell cycle control, apoptosis, and metastasis. Discovering these molecular interactions provides fresh insights into personalized medicine techniques for CC detection and therapy. Graphical abstract
