Cytomegalovirus infection is common in prostate cancer and antiviral therapies inhibit progression in disease models

Molecular Oncology, Volume 19, Issue 11, Page 3035-3059, November 2025.
Human cytomegalovirus infection is common in normal prostate epithelium, prostate tumor tissue, and prostate cancer cell lines. CMV promotes cell survival, proliferation, and androgen receptor signaling. Anti‐CMV pharmaceutical compounds in clinical use inhibited cell expansion in prostate cancer models in vitro and in vivo, motivating investigation ...

Merkel Cell Polyomavirus Small T Antigen Induces Cancer and Embryonic Merkel Cell Proliferation in a Transgenic Mouse Model. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCV) causes the majority of human Merkel cell carcinomas (MCC) and encodes a small T (sT) antigen that transforms immortalized rodent fibroblasts in vitro. To develop a mouse model for MCV sT-induced carcinogenesis, we generated

The Epidemiology of Neuroendocrine Carcinomas in Taiwan: A Population‐Based Cancer Registry Study

Cancer Medicine, Volume 14, Issue 21, November 2025.
Differences in the incidence trends and clinical outcomes of NECs suggest different etiologies and heterogeneities of NECs. Further investigations on risk factor identification and novel treatment strategies for NECs are warranted. ABSTRACT Background Lung and small cell neuroendocrine carcinomas (SCCs) are the most common sites and histological types ...

Japanese Dermatological Association Guidelines: Clinical Questions of Guidelines for Merkel Cell Carcinoma 2025

The Journal of Dermatology, Volume 52, Issue 11, Page e954-e967, November 2025.
ABSTRACT Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is a highly malignant skin cancer characterized by high rates of recurrence and metastasis. Although rare, the incidence has noticeably increased in recent years. It is also known to be a highly immunogenic tumor, and the use of immune checkpoint inhibitors has begun for advanced cases.

Human Polyomavirus BK Genome Analysis in BKPyV Induced Rodent Cell Lines

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 14, Issue 5, October 2025.
In this study, we analyzed the BK polyomavirus (BKPyV) genome derived from three rodent cell lines established from BKPyV induced tumors. BKPyV derived one cell line had a large deletion. The noncoding control region (NCCR) of BKPyV derived from these cell lines had the same structure as viruses induced tumors.

Cytokeratin and Neuroendocrine Positivity in Cutaneous Small Blue Round Cell Tumor—Is It Always Merkel Cell Carcinoma?

Journal of Cutaneous Pathology, Volume 52, Issue 10, Page 605-610, October 2025.
ABSTRACT We present a case of a 39‐year‐old woman initially diagnosed with Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC), a highly aggressive neuroendocrine carcinoma, due to the presence of cytokeratin and neuroendocrine marker expression. The tumor was dermal based, showing small round blue cells with fine chromatin, scant cytoplasm, and scattered mitotic figures ...

The Human Polyomavirus Middle and Alternative T-Antigens; Thoughts on Roles and Relevance to Cancer

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018
Approximately 15–20% of human cancer is related to infection, which renders them potentially preventable by antimicrobial or antiviral therapy. Human polyomaviruses (PyVs) are relevant in this regard, as illustrated by the involvement of Merkel cell ...

Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor‐Related Dysautonomia in Merkel Cell Carcinoma: A Case Report

Cancer Reports, Volume 8, Issue 7, July 2025.
ABSTRACT Background Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) are monoclonal antibodies that block inhibitory pathways that cancer cells exploit to suppress T‐cell activation. Although immune‐related adverse events (irAEs) linked to ICI therapy are well documented and encompass dermatologic, endocrine, gastrointestinal, hepatic, and neurologic systems, ICI ...
