Identification of a novel Gammaretrovirus in prostate tumors of patients homozygous for R462Q RNASEL variant. by Anatoly Urisman, Ross J Molinaro, Nicole Fischer, Sarah J Plummer, Graham Casey, Eric A Klein, Krishnamurthy Malathi, Cristina Magi-Galluzzi, Raymond R Tubbs, Don Ganem, Robert H Silverman, Joseph L DeRisi

“…Given the role of this gene in viral defense, we sought to explore the possibility that a viral infection might contribute to prostate cancer in individuals harboring the R462Q variant. A viral detection DNA microarray composed of oligonucleotides corresponding to the most conserved sequences of all known viruses identified the presence of gammaretroviral sequences in cDNA samples from seven of 11 R462Q-homozygous (QQ) cases, and in one of eight heterozygous (RQ) and homozygous wild-type (RR) cases. …”

Increased cycling cell numbers and stem cell associated proteins as potential biomarkers for high grade human papillomavirus+ve pre-neoplastic cervical disease. by Maurice Canham, Chara Charsou, June Stewart, Sharon Moncur, Laura Hoodless, Ramya Bhatia, Duanduan Cong, Heather Cubie, Camille Busby-Earle, Alistair Williams, Victoria McLoughlin, John D M Campbell, Kate Cuschieri, Sarah Howie

“…As cancer is increasingly presumed to develop from proliferative, tumour initiating, cancer stem cells (CSCs), and as other oncogenic viruses induce stem cell associated gene expression, we evaluated whether presence of mRNA (detected by qRT-PCR) or proteins (detected by flow cytometry and antibody based proteomic microarray) from stem cell associated genes and/or increased cell proliferation (detected by flow cytometry) could be detected in well-characterised, routinely collected cervical samples from high risk HPV+ve women. …”
