Inhibition of T-antigen expression promoting glycogen synthase kinase 3 impairs merkel cell carcinoma cell growth

Roland Houben et al.

Summary: GSK3 inhibitors, such as CHIR99021, have been identified as potential therapeutics for Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) by repressing TA expression in MCC cells, demonstrating in vivo antitumor activity in a MCC xenograft mouse model. This study provides a promising approach for future treatment of MCC by targeting virus-encoded T antigens.

Genomic evidence suggests that cutaneous neuroendocrine carcinomas can arise from squamous dysplastic precursors

Summary: MCC and SCCIS show significant overlap in gene mutations, with no unique gene mutations found in all cases of MCC. Transcriptome analysis reveals large differences in gene expression between MCC and SCCIS, including epidermal markers and immune genes. Immunohistochemistry studies show increased expression of SOX2 in the MCC component.

Summary: This review summarizes the current understanding of the oncogenic mechanisms driven by Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCV) in Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC). The study focuses on the roles of large T (LT) and small T (ST) antigens in promoting MCC oncogenesis and evading growth suppression. The paper also highlights unresolved research questions regarding the origin of MCC and viral integration mechanisms.

Functional Domains of the Early Proteins and Experimental and Epidemiological Studies Suggest a Role for the Novel Human Polyomaviruses in Cancer

Ugo Moens et al.

Summary: Polyomaviruses can induce tumors, with some strains classified as carcinogenic to humans and others possibly carcinogenic. Whether novel HPyVs play a role in cancer is still under question, as they share common features with known PyVs but their role in oncogenic processes is not fully understood. Studies have examined the functional domains of early proteins in novel HPyVs and presented experimental evidence of their potential oncogenic properties. Detection of novel HPyV in human tumors has also been reviewed in the literature.

Prevalence of Merkel Cell Polyomavirus in Normal and Lesional Skin: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Wilson A. Wijaya et al.

Summary: The prevalence of Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCPyV) in Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) and its role in the etiology of other skin diseases are still controversial. This study conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to assess the association between MCPyV infection and MCC, non-MCC skin lesions, and normal skin. The results showed that MCPyV infection was significantly associated with an increased risk of MCC, but the prevalence rate of MCPyV+ in non-MCC skin lesions was low, indicating a possible pathogenic association with the development of non-MCC skin lesions.

RB1-deficient squamous cell carcinoma: the proposed source of combined Merkel cell carcinoma

Ryan C. DeCoste et al.

Summary: Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is an aggressive skin cancer with different subtypes based on the origin of Merkel cell polyomavirus and genetic damage. This study used genomic profiling and immunohistochemistry to investigate the mutational profiles and pathogenesis of MCC. The results showed that MCPyV+ and MCPyV- MCCs are distinct entities in terms of pathogenesis and the NE and SCC components of combined MCCs are linked through shared genetic profiles.

Direct cellular reprogramming enables development of viral T antigen-driven Merkel cell carcinoma in mice

Monique E. Verhaegen et al.

Summary: Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is an aggressive skin cancer that expresses specific genes similar to skin-resident Merkel cells. Researchers have used ATOH1 to induce MCC development in mice by cellular reprogramming. By conditionally expressing MCPyV TAgs and ATOH1 in mouse epidermal cells, they were able to generate MCC-like tumor cells from hair follicles. The study confirmed the similarity between mouse and human MCCs and revealed that loss of p53 is necessary for the progression of MCC in this mouse model.

Genome-wide profiling of BK polyomavirus integration in bladder cancer of kidney transplant recipients reveals mechanisms of the integration at the nucleotide level

Yu Jin et al.

Summary: Chronic BK polyomavirus (BKPyV) infection is considered a potential oncogenic factor for urothelial carcinoma (UC) in renal transplant recipients. Integration sites between human and BKPyV genomes were enriched with microhomologies, and viral insertional integration led to fusion sequences of 75 human genes, with 15 genes showing statistical association with UC based on expression analysis. These findings suggest a potential mechanism of viral-driven carcinogenesis in BKPyV-related UC.

Molecular Pathogenesis of Merkel Cell Carcinoma

James A. DeCaprio

Summary: Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) has two distinct etiologies, with one caused by viral DNA integration and the other by UV damage. Despite different causes, both forms of MCC have similar presentation, prognosis, and response to therapy. Oncogenic transcriptional programs, cell proliferation rates, and neuroendocrine differentiation programs play important roles in both types of MCC.

The Merkel Cell Polyomavirus T Antigens Function as Tumor Promoters in Murine Skin

Megan E. Spurgeon et al.

Summary: Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCPyV) is associated with the development of Merkel cell carcinoma, with its T antigens acting primarily as tumor promoters in skin cancer development. The viral T antigens synergize with tumor initiator DMBA but not with tumor promoter TPA, suggesting a complex interaction between viral oncogenes and other carcinogenic factors in tumor formation. These findings provide valuable insights into the pathogenic mechanisms of MCPyV in human skin cancer.

Natural History of Cutaneous Human Polyomavirus Infection in Healthy Individuals

Luisa Bopp et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the cutaneous prevalence, persistence, and viral load of HPyVs in healthy individuals, finding several risk factors associated with HPyV prevalence and persistence. TSPyV, HPyV9, and HPyV10 do not appear to be long-term constituents of the human skin virome in healthy individuals. Higher viral loads were found to be associated with both short- and long-term persistence of HPyVs on the skin. Multiplicity of HPyVs was identified as a risk factor for prevalence and persistence for several types of HPyVs.

Characterization of ALTO-encoding circular RNAs expressed by Merkel cell polyomavirus and trichodysplasia spinulosa polyomavirus

Rong Yang et al.

Summary: The study reveals that human polyomavirus (HPyV) generate circular RNAs (circRNAs) in human tumors and infected tissues which can express proteins that have the potential to modulate the infectious and tumorigenic properties of these viruses. In particular, MCPyV and TSPyV generate circRNAs encompassing part of the early region that can be translated to ALTO protein in cultured cells, and MCPyV ALTO has the ability to regulate transcription.

Biology of Polyomavirus miRNA

Wei Zou et al.

Summary: Polyomaviruses are a family of non-enveloped DNA viruses with wide host ranges that can cause asymptomatic infection and severe diseases upon reactivation. Research has shown that most well-studied polyomaviruses encode viral miRNA to regulate viral replication and pathogenesis by controlling both host and viral gene expression. The potential application of polyomavirus miRNA as a marker for disease progression and reactivation is also discussed.

Expression of Mismatch Repair Proteins in Merkel Cell Carcinoma

Summary: This study found a significant association between low expression of mismatch repair proteins and a negative MCPyV status in Merkel cell carcinoma. Microsatellite instability was detected in only one case, suggesting a potential impact on immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy outcome. Further research is needed to determine if this subset of MCC patients respond better to ICI therapy.
