Background: Cervical cancer is a major health concern, with human papillomaviruses (HPV) infection being a key risk factor. However, not all HPV-infected individuals develop cancer, suggesting the additional factors may be involved. This study aims to evaluate the differences in the miR-155 and -205 expression in cervical tissue with dysplasia depending on the presence of HPV and confirmed cancer diagnosis.
Materials And Methods: The expression of miR-155 and -205 in 30 formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded primary cervical tissue biopsy samples was evaluated using RT-PCR.
Results: The expression levels of miRNA-155 and -205 in cervical dysplasia samples without malignant transformation was lower than these in carcinoma in situ tissues (0.74 ± 0.21 and 1.65 ± 0.42 vs. 1.37 ± 0.18 and 2.35 ± 0.32, respectively). In carcinoma in situ cases, we found higher levels of miRNA-155 and -205 (1.6 and 1.38 times, respectively) in CIN-3/ HSIL samples compared to CIN-2/HSIL samples. The expression of both miRNAs tended to increase in HPV-positive cases and in the presence of malignant transformation compared to HPV-negative dysplasia and dysplasia without signs of malignant transformation, respectively.
Conclusions: The obtained data indicate a potential relationship between the presence of HPV infection and the expression profile of miRNA-155 and -205.

Defining physiology and methods to measure biological mechanisms is essential. Extensive datasets such as RNA sequencing are used with little analysis of the knowledge gained from the various methodologies. Within this work, we have processed publicly available NCBI RNAseq datasets using a combination of bioinformatics tools for the largest physiological organ, the skin.

Introduction: This study explores the presence and clinical significance of Epstein- Barr Virus (EBV) and Human Papillomavirus (HPV) in papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC). EBV and HPV are known to contribute to various cancers, but their roles in thyroid cancer development are debated.
Method: Paraffin-embedded tissue blocks from PTC patients (n=255) who underwent thyroid surgery between 2020 and 2021 were analyzed for EBV and HPV DNA using PCR-based methods.

Human papillomavirus (HPV), particularly strains 16 and 18, contributes to oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC), even in non-smokers and non-drinkers. This study investigated gene expression variations in HPV-positive OPSCCs according to the virus genotype. An RNA sequencing analysis of 36 p16-positive OPSCC patients revealed distinct expression patterns between tumors with only E6/E7 transcripts (E6E7) and those with additional E5 transcripts (E5-added).

The presence of ectodermal adnexal structures in the uterine cervix, including sebaceous glands, hair follicles, and sweat glands, has been well documented in the literature. In theory, there exists the possibility of developing cutaneous-type lesions from the ectopic ectodermal structures in this location. Here we report the first case of cervical hair follicle-derived proliferations reminiscent of trichoadenoma, trichoepithelioma, and trichoblastoma (TA/TE/TB) in a 52-year-old woman who underwent a prophylactic hysterectomy due to a germline microphthalmia-associated transcription factor (MITF) gene mutation.
