Abstract
Deletions in chromosome (chr.) 13q occur frequently in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). Previous studies failed to identify common deleted regions in chr.13q, though several candidate tumour suppressor genes (TSGs) loci, e.g. BRCA2, RB1 and BRCAX have been localized in this chromosome, as well as no prognostic significance of the deletion has been reported. Thus, in the present study, deletion mapping of chr. 13q has been done in 55 primary HNSCC samples of Indian patients using 11 highly polymorphic microsatellite markers of which three were intragenic to BRCA2 gene, one intragenic to RB1 gene and another from BRCAX locus. The deletion in chr.13q was significantly associated with progression of HNSCC. High frequencies (27-39%) of loss of heterozygosity were found in 13q13.1 (BRCA2), 13q14.2 (RB1), 13q21.2-22.1 (BRCAX) and 13q31.1 regions. Deletions in the BRCA2 and RB1 regions were significantly correlated. The four highly deleted regions were associated with clinical stage and histological grades of the tumour as well as poor patient outcome. Deletion in the 13q31.1 region was only found to be associated with HPV infection. High frequencies (11-23%) of microsatellite size alteration (MA) were seen to overlap with the highly deleted regions. Forty per cent of the samples showed rare biallelic alteration whereas loss of normal copy of chromosome 13q was seen in five tumours. Thus, it seems that the putative TSGs located in the BRCAX and 13q31.1 regions as well as the BRCA2 and RB1 genes may have some cumulative effect in progression and poor prognosis of HNSCC. Significant association between deletion in BRCA2 and RB1 gene loci may indicate functional relationship between the genes in this tumour progression.

Abstract
Although human papillomavirus (HPV) DNA is detected in the majority of squamous intraepithelial lesions (SILs) and squamous cell carcinomas (SCCs) of the uterine cervix, the persistence and progression of cervical lesions suggest that viral antigens are not adequately presented to the immune system. This hypothesis is reinforced by the observation that most SILs show quantitative and functional alterations of Langerhans cells (LCs). The aim of this study was to determine whether modulation of E-cadherin-mediated homophilic and heterotypic interactions between keratinocytes and LCs is involved in these abnormalities of LCs in (pre)neoplastic cervical epithelium. Cell membrane expression of E-cadherin and the density of CD1a+ LCs were low in the epithelium of SILs and SCC biopsy specimens, compared with normal exocervical epithelium. Dendritic cells (DCs) and LCs generated in vitro were randomly distributed throughout the full thickness of organotypic cultures of E-cadherin- HPV-transformed cells. In contrast, these cells rapidly adhered to the keratinocyte cell layers when HPV-transformed cells transfected with E-cadherin were used. These data suggest that the E-cadherin-mediated contact between keratinocytes and LCs is potentially important for initiating or maintaining the immune response during chronic HPV infection.

Abstract
Cancers of the anogenital tract as well as some head and neck cancers are caused by persistent infections with high-risk type human papillomaviruses (HPVs). Two viral oncogenes, E6 and E7, induce severe chromosomal instability associated with centrosome aberrations, anaphase bridges, chromosome lagging, and breaking. This occurs early in preneoplastic lesions, when the viral genome still persists in an episomal state. In most invasive cancers and also in a few high-grade dysplastic lesions, however, integration of high-risk HPV genomes into the host genome is observed. Integration seems to be a direct consequence of chromosomal instability and an important molecular event in the progression of preneoplastic lesions. Disruption or deregulation of defined critical cellular gene functions by insertional mutagenesis by integrated HPV genome fragments has been hypothesized as one major promoting factor in the pathogenesis of HPV-associated cancers. This hypothesis was based on the detection of HPV integration events in the area of tumor-relevant genes in few cases. Here, we reviewed >190 reported integration loci with respect to changes in the viral structure and the targeted genomic locus. This analysis confirms that HPV integration sites are randomly distributed over the whole genome with a clear predilection for genomic fragile sites. No evidence for targeted disruption or functional alteration of critical cellular genes by the integrated viral sequences could be found.

Abstract
Cervical cancer accounts for about 10% of all newly diagnosed cancers in women worldwide. The association between HPV infection and cervical neoplasia appears to be stronger than the association between smoking and lung cancer. At least 20 oncogenic HPV types have been identified in > 95% of preinvasive and invasive cervical cancers, HPV type 16 being the most common. HPV detection is important to identify those patients who may be at high risk for the development of cervical neoplasia. Detection techniques include Hybrid Capture (Digene, Silver Springs, MD) and PCR. Viral integration appears to be one of the necessary steps in malignant transformation. Recently, some of the repeated chromosomal alterations and patterns of integration sites have been identified in cervical cancer specimens. The low rate of HPV-negative cancers implies an effective HPV vaccine might have the ability to eradicate cervical cancer worldwide.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In cervical tumours the integration of human papilloma viruses (HPV) transcripts often results in the generation of transcripts that consist of hybrids of viral and cellular sequences. Mapping data using a variety of techniques has demonstrated that HPV integration occurred without obvious specificity into human genome. However, these techniques could not demonstrate whether integration resulted in the generation of transcripts encoding viral or viral-cellular sequences. The aim of this work was to map the integration sites of HPV DNA and to analyse the adjacent cellular sequences. METHODS Amplification of the INTs was done by the APOT technique. The APOT products were sequenced according to standard protocols. The analysis of the sequences was performed using BLASTN program and public databases. To localise the INTs PCR-based screening of GeneBridge4-RH-panel was used. RESULTS Twelve cellular sequences adjacent to integrated HPV16 (INT markers) expressed in squamous cell cervical carcinomas were isolated. For 11 INT markers homologous human genomic sequences were readily identified and 9 of these showed significant homologies to known genes/ESTs. Using the known locations of homologous cDNAs and the RH-mapping techniques, mapping studies showed that the INTs are distributed among different human chromosomes for each tumour sample and are located in regions with the high levels of expression. CONCLUSIONS Integration of HPV genomes occurs into the different human chromosomes but into regions that contain highly transcribed genes. One interpretation of these studies is that integration of HPV occurs into decondensed regions, which are more accessible for integration of foreign DNA.

Abstract
A human middle ear epithelial cell line (HMEEC-1) was established using human papillomavirus E6/E7 genes. HMEEC-1 has remained morphologically and phenotypically stable, even after 50 passages. The cells are anchorage-dependent and nontumorigenic when injected into nude mice. This cell line thus provides a new tool for the study of normal cell biology and the pathological processes associated with the epithelial cells of the middle ear in otitis media. HMEEC-1 will also be useful in the search for new drugs and biological agents for the treatment of otitis media.

Abstract
Infection with human papillomavirus (HPV) of specific high-risk type triggers a series of events in target cells, which will eventually lead to development of genital neoplasia. The integration of high-risk HPV DNA into the cell genome has been regarded as a crucial event in tumor progression. With respect to different HPV types, the knowledge of HPV integrated loci is still limited. We have now determined the genomic variation and chromosomal location of HPV 33 DNA in the cell line UT-DEC-1, established from a vaginal mild dysplasia lesion. The viral sequence of the cell line was determined, and a variant of the prototype HPV 33 strain was identified, showing nucleotide substitutions resulting in amino acid changes in the E2, L2 and E4 open reading frames. In late passage UT-DEC-1 cells, a deletion of more than half of the 3' part of E1 and major parts of the E2 and E4 genes provided evidence for integration. The flanking sequences of the integration site were completely homologous to published sequences from chromosomal band 5p14, and remained unchanged in all subclones established from late passage cells. There were no chromosomal deletions or gross rearrangements at the integration site, and only a single heterozygotic copy of HPV 33 was detected. The karyotype of late passage cells showed only minor changes compared with early passage cells. During passaging of the cell line, there were progressive changes towards a malignant phenotype, and in parallel to this, the cells carrying episomal HPV 33 of the early passages was completely superseded by cells containing the integrated virus. Thus, our results show that this single copy heterozygote integration of HPV 33 into chromosome band 5p14 appears to be associated with emergence of cells escaping senescence, and with growth advantage compared with cells carrying episomal virus.

Abstract
Herein we describe the cDNA sequence of a novel human gene, ITGBL1, encoding a beta integrin-related protein termed TIED [for ten beta integrin epidermal growth factor (EGF)-like repeat domains]. Overlapping cDNA clones from fetal lung, HUVEC, and osteoblast cDNA libraries encode a sequence comprising a typical signal peptide, followed by a hydrophilic 471-amino-acid domain containing 10 tandem EGF-like repeats strikingly similar to those found in the cysteine-rich "stalk-like" structure of integrin beta subunits. The EGF-like repeats of TIED and beta integrins are unique in that they alternate in homology and possess two additional cysteines (eight in total) whose positions differ from those in the other eight-cysteine EGF-like domains of laminin, fibrillin, and the latent TGF-beta binding proteins. TIED mRNA transcripts of 2.8 kb were detected in aorta, thymus, and osteogenic sarcoma cells. The ITGBL1 gene was mapped to human chromosome 13, band 13q33. We suggest that ITGBL1 may be linked in some way with the evolution of the integrin beta subunits.
