The role of HPV-induced epigenetic changes in cervical carcinogenesis (Review)

Martha Laysla Ramos Da Silva et al.

Summary: Cervical cancer, caused by high-risk HPV infection, remains the second most common cancer type in women in developing regions. Epigenetic modifications are stable changes in DNA that affect gene expression and genomic stability, playing a key role in various biological processes. These modifications have been identified in both viral DNA and infected cell genomes, contributing to the development of cervical cancer.

cGAS-STING signaling in cancer immunity and immunotherapy

Huashan Du et al.

Summary: Recent studies have revealed that the cGAS-STING pathway plays a crucial role in antitumor immunity, promoting senescence and apoptosis of cancer cells while enhancing the protective effects of cytotoxic T cells and natural killer cells. Combining the cGAS-STING signaling pathway with other therapeutic methods offers a new perspective for overcoming obstacles in its application.

Summary: The study found fewer CD3+, CD4+, and CD8+ cells in cervical lesions and more cells in cancers compared to normal epithelium, and high infiltration of regulatory T-cells in persistent and precancerous lesions, with improved prognosis when regulatory T-cell levels are lower.

Summary: Persistent infection with certain types of mucosal human papillomavirus (HPV) is the main cause of cervical cancer, and changes in the vaginal microbiome could influence the natural history of HPV infections. The role of specific bacterial groups in HPV infection outcomes is not well understood at this time.

The immune landscape during the tumorigenesis of cervical cancer

Yiying Wang et al.

Summary: Deciphering the immune response and expression changes during cervical tumorigenesis revealed the initiation of lesion-intrinsic immunosuppression at precancerous stages and the increase in various immune cell types from normalcy to cancer development. Immune escape initiated from high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions and culminated in squamous cell carcinoma, with escalated expression of immune checkpoints, largely encompassed by HSIL and SCC under the stress of both activated and suppressive immune responses.

The vaginal microbiota and innate immunity after local excisional treatment for cervical intraepithelial neoplasia

Anita Mitra et al.

Summary: This study found that women with CIN have a decreased prevalence of Lactobacillus sp., high-diversity VMB composition, and higher levels of proinflammatory cytokines and AMPs. However, surgical excision of the disease did not change the VMB composition or cytokine levels, suggesting that women with CIN have an inherent predisposition to a high-diversity proinflammatory environment that is not corrected by disease excision.

Turning tumors from cold to inflamed to improve immunotherapy response

C. L. Gerard et al.

Summary: Immune checkpoint inhibitors have revolutionized cancer treatment, but many patients still do not respond to these therapies. By examining the immune phenotypes in the tumor microenvironment, researchers aim to predict patient-specific responses. Strategies to reprogram the tumor microenvironment are being explored to enhance the efficacy of immunotherapies, along with combinations with other therapeutic options.

Primary vulvar squamous cell carcinomas with high T cell infiltration and active immune signaling are potential candidates for neoadjuvant PD-1/PD-L1 immunotherapy

Kim E. Kortekaas et al.

Summary: An active immune signaling profile is present in 35% of primary FIGO I-III VSCCs, suggesting potential responsiveness to neoadjuvant PD-1/PD-L1 immunotherapy. High intraepithelial infiltration with CD4 or CD8 T cells was associated with longer overall and recurrence-free survival, outperforming molecular subtype and disease stage. Strong T cell infiltrated VSCC displayed a coordinated immune response with different lymphocyte and myeloid cell subsets.

Comparison of Conservative Treatment of Cervical Intraepithelial Lesions with Imiquimod with Standard Excisional Technique Using LLETZ: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Andrej Cokan et al.

Summary: Conservative treatment with imiquimod showed comparable success rates to standard treatment with LLETZ in a subgroup of patients with CIN2p16+. Despite this, the prevalence of side effects with imiquimod could be a clinically important issue in treatment compliance. Overall, LLETZ remains the gold standard for treating HSIL.

The Immune Microenvironment in Human Papilloma Virus-Induced Cervical Lesions-Evidence for Estrogen as an Immunomodulator

R. S. Jayshree

Summary: HPV infection is common worldwide, but most cases resolve with the help of the body's immune response. In some patients, immune response can lead to lesion regression, but persistent infection and other factors can progress to cervical cancer. Immune responses play a crucial role in the development of CIN to CxCa, and estradiol has been identified as a factor in cervical carcinogenesis. Therapeutic repurposing of estrogen-related drugs may modulate immune function in cervical precancer/cancer.

Caution should be taken when performing multiple biopsies or treatment for CIN in women of reproductive age, who may benefit from close surveillance during pregnancy.

Summary: The study aimed to provide an updated overview of regression, persistence, and progression rates of conservatively managed CIN 1/CIN 2/CIN 3. Most CIN 1/CIN 2 cases will regress spontaneously in less than 24 months, with the highest regression rates seen in high-risk HPV-negative and young women, while progression to cancer is less than 0.5%. Conservative management may be considered, especially in fertile women with expected high compliance.
