From Merkel Cell Polyomavirus Infection to Merkel Cell Carcinoma Oncogenesis [PDF]

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021
Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCPyV) infection causes near-ubiquitous, asymptomatic infection in the skin, but occasionally leads to an aggressive skin cancer called Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC).

The Merkel cell polyomavirus and its involvement in Merkel cell carcinoma

Dermatologic Surgery, 2013
The discovery of the Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCV) in a large number of Merkel cell carcinomas (MCCs) has led to many investigations into its potential role as an oncovirus.

Merkel cell polyomavirus and Langerhans cell neoplasm [PDF]

Cell Communication and Signaling, 2018
Background The relationship between various external agents such as pollen, food, and infectious agents and human sensitivity exists and is variable depending upon individual’s health conditions. For example, we believe that the pathogenetic potential of

Merkel Cell Polyomavirus and Merkel Cell Carcinoma, France

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2008
To the Editor: Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is a primary cutaneous neuroendocrine tumor. This aggressive skin cancer is uncommon but increasing in frequency. During 1986–2001, incidence rate tripled; average annual increase was 8% (1). MCC shares epidemiologic features with Kaposi sarcoma, a malignant tumor associated with human herpesvirus 8 infection (

Merkel cell polyomavirus in merkel cell carcinoma: clinical and therapeutic perspectives

Seminars in Oncology, 2015
Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is a rare and often aggressive cutaneous cancer with a poor prognosis. The incidence of this cancer increases with age, immunodeficiency and sun exposure.

Epidemiology of Merkel Cell Polyomavirus Infection and Merkel Cell Carcinoma. [PDF]

Cancers (Basel), 2022
Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCPyV) is a ubiquitous virus replicating in human dermal fibroblasts. MCPyV DNA can be detected on healthy skin in 67–90% of various body sites, and intact virions are regularly shed from the skin. Infection occurs early in life, and seropositivity increases from 37 to 42% in 1- to 6-year-olds to 92% in adults.

Promoter activity of Merkel cell Polyomavirus variants in human dermal fibroblasts and a Merkel cell carcinoma cell line. [PDF]

, 2020
Background - Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCPyV) is a human polyomavirus that establishes a life-long harmless infection in most individuals, with dermal fibroblasts believed to be the natural host cell. However, this virus is the major cause of Merkel cell

Merkel cell polyomavirus infection and Merkel cell carcinoma [PDF]

Current Opinion in Virology, 2016
Merkel cell polyomavirus is the only polyomavirus discovered to date that is associated with a human cancer. MCPyV infection is highly prevalent in the general population. Nearly all healthy adults asymptomatically shed MCPyV from their skin. However, in elderly and immunosuppressed individuals, the infection can lead to a lethal form of skin cancer ...

Epigenetic Dysregulations in Merkel Cell Polyomavirus-Driven Merkel Cell Carcinoma [PDF]

International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2021
Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCPyV) is a small DNA virus with oncogenic potential. MCPyV is the causative agent of Merkel Cell Carcinoma (MCC), a rare but aggressive tumor of the skin. The role of epigenetic mechanisms, such as histone posttranslational modifications (HPTMs), DNA methylation, and microRNA (miRNA) regulation on MCPyV-driven MCC has ...
