Proinflammatory and type 1 cytokine expression in cervical mucosa during HIV-1 and human papillomavirus infection
Article Abstract:
The role of inflammation in HIV transmission in investigated by studying the infectious and inflammatory milieu in cervical mucosa from HIV-1- and human papillomavirus (HPV)-coinfected and HPV-monoinfected women. The results have indicated the persistence of immune activation and inflammation in the genital tract of women with HPV monoinfection and in HIV-infected women coinfected with HPV.

Methylation of human papillomavirus genomes in cells of anal epithelia of HIV-infected men
Article Abstract:
Intra-anal malignancies disproportionately affect individuals who engage in anal intercourse because of infection with human papillomaviruses (HPVs) with an increased risk attributed to infection with HIV because of a declining immunity against HPVs. The combination of a high load of HPV genomes with DNA methylation may be useful marker to detect clones of malignantly progressing cells.

High-resolution analysis of Genomic alterations and human papillomavirus integration in anal intraepithelial neoplasia
Article Abstract:
Microarray-based comparative genome hybridization (aCGH) with human inserts in bacterial artificial chromosomes (BCAs) as spotted targets were used to characterize copy number abnormalities (CNAs) in AIN tissues. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis was performed to delineate an amplicon found on chromosome arm 3q better.
